Abstract: | In this paper, we presented four novel visible light photoinitiating systems, which employed nitro‐stilbenzene derivatives as photoinitiators. Visible light photopolymerization of these systems was studied completely. The results showed that the chemical structures of the photoinitiators, photoinduced electron transfer approach, solvent polarity, and monomers played significant effects on the visible light photopolymerization. The electrochemistry of nitro‐stilbenzene was dramatically influenced by the linking benzophenone moiety. The cyclic voltammograms of four photoinitiators were determined and discussed. We further estimated the thermodriving force for electron transfer between nitro‐stilbenzene and benzophenone. Thermal stabilities of new photoinitators were determined by the analysis of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG) in this paper.
