Luminescence de l'Europium Divalent dans les Fluosilicates MSiF6 (M = Sr,Ba)

Luminescence of Eu²⁺ Ions in Fluosilicates MSiF₆ (M = Sr, Ba) A pure f → f emission is detected in Eu²⁺ doped SrSiF₆ and BaSiF₆. Because of the strong ionic bonding of europium a large gap occurs between the bottom of the 5d band and the ⁶P_7/2 emission level (3000 cm^?1 at 300 K). The emission is very intense under low pressure mercury excitation and decreases slowly with temperature.     

Use of α‐diketones as visible photoinitiators for the photocrosslinking of waterborne latex paints

The efficiency of several α‐diketones as visible light photoinitiators for the crosslinking of waterborne latex dispersions in the presence of acrylic monomers was evaluated. Among the eight α‐diketones studied, camphorquinone allows the fastest curing speed, and the curing of the acrylic waterborne coating is not affected by the presence of oxygen. The properties of the sunlight‐cured volatile organic compound (VOC)‐free pigmented paints prepared from the waterborne latex are as good or better than the equivalent conventional paint containing VOCs. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Processus de photopolymerisation du methacrylate de methyle en presence de chlorure de zinc

The photopolymerization of methylmethacrylate in solution or in bulk, initiated by DMPA (2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone) and BP (benzophenone), has been investigated in the presence of ZnCI₂ as a complexing agent. We have studied the steady state polymerization (measurement of R, and OT) and the behaviour of the excited states by laser spectroscopy. We have shown the following points: R_p and DP increase with [ZnCI₂]; the rate constant for propagation increases with [ZnC12]; the rate of initiation remains constant in presence of BP-ZnCl₂ but increases with DMPA-ZnCl₂. The results are accounted for by the results of laser spectroscopy.     

Comparative reactivity of water soluble photoinitiators as viewed in terms of excited states processes

The activity of 10 water soluble photoinitiators derived from thioxanthone, benzophenone, and benzil were studied comparatively. The mechanisms of initiation were determined by time resolved laser spectroscopy and steady state polymerization. The characteristic features of each series of compounds are pointed out. The possible contribution of biphotonic processes to the initiation step is considered.     

Mechanism of Formation of Peroxocarbonates RhOOC(O)O(Cl)(P)(3) and Their Reactivity as Oxygen Transfer Agents Mimicking Monooxygenases. The First Evidence of CO(2) Insertion into the O-O Bond of Rh(eta(2)-O(2)) Complexes

Extended labeling experiments have shown that formation of rhodium peroxocarbonate from CO(2) and [RhCl(eta(2)-O(2))(P)(3)] (P is PEt(2)Ph or PEtPh(2)) proceeds through O-O bond cleavage and CO(2) insertion. O-transfer to ancillary phosphine ligand to give R(3)P=O selectively (>85%) involves the Rh-linked O atom of the peroxo group of RhCl(CO(4))(P)(3).     

Decatungstate (W10O)/Silane: A New and Promising Radical Source Under Soft Light Irradiation

The use of decatungstate in combination with silanes to generate silyl radicals under green fluorescence bulb irradiation as well as sunlight exposure is described. The mechanisms are investigated by ESR and laser flash photolysis experiments. The high potential of this reaction is evidenced here when using a decatungstate/silane/diphenyl iodonium salt combination as an initiating system for the ring opening photopolymerization of epoxides.

     

On the Synthesis,Characterization and Reactivity of N‐Heteroaryl–Boryl Radicals,a New Radical Class Based on Five‐Membered Ring Ligands

The synthesis and physical characterization of a new class of N‐heterocycle–boryl radicals is presented, based on five membered ring ligands with a N(sp²) complexation site. These pyrazole–boranes and pyrazaboles exhibit a low bond dissociation energy (BDE; B?H) and accordingly excellent hydrogen transfer properties. Most importantly, a high modulation of the BDE(B?H) by the fine tuning of the N‐heterocyclic ligand was obtained in this series and could be correlated with the spin density on the boron atom of the corresponding radical. The reactivity of the latter for small molecule chemistry has been studied through the determination of several reaction rate constants corresponding to addition to alkenes and alkynes, addition to O₂, oxidation by iodonium salts and halogen abstraction from alkyl halides. Two selected applications of N‐heterocycle–boryl radicals are also proposed herein, for radical polymerization and for radical dehalogenation reactions.     

Development of new high‐performance visible light photoinitiators based on carbazole scaffold and their applications in 3d printing and photocomposite synthesis

In this article, new compounds based on the carbazole scaffold (DMs = DM1 and DM2, constituted by a carbazole unit connected on positions 3 and 6 to a two 4,4′‐dimethoxydiphenylamine groups and differing by the substituent present on the nitrogen heteroatom of the carbazole core) were synthesized and proposed as high‐performance visible light photoinitiators/photosensitizers for both the free‐radical polymerization of methacrylates and the cationic polymerization of epoxides upon visible light exposure using LED@405 nm. Remarkably, DM2 leads to higher final conversions than DM1. In order to study the photophysical and photochemical properties of the carbazole derivatives, different parameters were taken into account such as the light absorption, the steady‐state photolysis, and the fluorescence spectroscopy. Using different techniques such as fluorescence quenching, redox behavior, and cyclic voltammetry, we are able to discuss the photosensitization/photoinitiation reactions providing a full coherent picture of the involved chemical mechanisms. The photosensitization of the carbazole derivatives occurred predominantly via singlet excited states at the rate of the diffusion limit. Upon exposure to laser diode at 405 nm, DMs show high performance in initiating systems for 3D resins. Remarkably, DM2 can also be used in photocomposite synthesis using light‐emitting diode conveyor. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2019, 57, 2081–2092

Photoinitiation mechanism of free radical photopolymerization in the presence of cyclic acetals and related compounds

The behavior of six cyclic acetals and related compounds in the photoinitiation step of a radical photopolymerization was investigated. As shown by the photopolymerization kinetic data obtained from FTIR spectroscopy, most of them are efficient coinitiators in the presence of benzophenone (BP) with efficiencies close to a reference amine coinitiator (ethyl dimethylaminobenzoate, EDB). Laser flash photolysis and ESR spin trapping technique were used to study the photochemical mechanisms of the production of initiating radicals and explain the differences in reactivity. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
