Notes:
A series of crowned benzophenones (CBPs) and benzoins was synthesized. Application of CBPs as initiators for the photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) indicated a kinetic similarity between benzophenones and crowned benzophenones. With CBPs a rate enhancement was observed which was attributed to the higher light absorptance in the presence of crown ether structure. UV spectra confirmed the existence of the crown species as end groups of the polymer chains.
