One fascinat-75 ing challenge remains on the design of more efficient76 derivatives within a given scaffold.77 In our recent research, perylene derivatives have been78 proposed and used in PISs under green light [19] or red79 light [20] irradiations. Perylene has also been found as a80 photosensitizer for the photolysis of sulfonium salts81 [21,22], N-ethoxy-2-methylpyridinium hexafluorophos-82 phate [23], phenacylanilinium salt [24], or iodonium salts83 [25], at long-wavelength UV light irradiations and thus ini-84 tiate the photopolymerization. Herein, we use novel blue85 light sensitive perylene derivatives Pers (Scheme 1; two86 previously studied compounds D_1 and Per1 will also be87 considered, and their chemical structures are given in the88 Scheme S1 in the Supporting information SI) as photoiniti-89 ators incorporable in PISs with other additives.

halogen lamp). Typical conversion-time profiles are given in Fig. 3 and the conversions after 800 s of light irradiationare summarized in Table 1. Upon the halogen lamp expo-sure, the PTCTE/Iod combination initiates CP with a lowconversion (18% after 800 s) while the BPTI/Iod or DPPDI/Iod PISs are not efficient. Upon addition of NVK (a known suitable additive [38]), the EPOX polymerization profilewas enhanced with a higher conversion of 60% withPTCTE/Iod/NVK in the same irradiation condition (Fig. 3,curve 1; tack free coatings). The PTCTE/Iod/NVK combina-tion also works under the laser diode at 473 nm (conver-sion = 48%; Fig. 3, curve 3) with a higher polymerizationrate than that obtained with the halogen lamp. Under the457 nm light, lower polymerization rate and conversionwere obtained (conversion = 41%; Fig. 3, curve 2) probablydue to the lower molar extinction coefficient of PTCTE at457 nm (see Fig. 1). As to BPTI (or DPPDI)/Iod/NVK, theirefficiencies for the polymerization of EPOX were relativelylow (conversions < 35%; Table 1).

(1 + kqs0 [Iod]), is 0.45 (for [Iod] = 4.7 � 10�2 M) andaround 7.5 times as that of BPTI/Iod (UeT = 0.059;Ufluo � 0.30): this is also in line with the higher efficiencyof PTCTE compared to BPTI. For DPPDI, the Ufluo was prettylow (�0.0014) and no fluorescence quenching was detect-able in the presence of Iod.

In LFP experiments (laser excitation at 355 nm), notriplet state absorption of PTCTE was observed in the400–700 nm range (same behavior in previously studiedperylenes [19,20]). This can be ascribed to the high Ufluo

and a low intersystem crossing pathway which preventsany significant triplet state population. As a consequence,the singlet route predominates in Pers/Iod interaction. Inline with the Pers/Iod interaction, phenyl radicals wereobserved in ESR spin trapping experiment on PTCTE/Iod(Fig. 7).

The overall mechanisms are easily explained on thebasis of the sets of reactions 1–4 already proposed in ourpreceding papers on perylene derivatives [19,20].

. Conclusion

The perylene derivative PTCTE in combination with anodonium salt Iod and optionally N-vinylcarbazole NVKan be used as effective PISs to initiate the cationic poly-erization of EPOX and the free radical polymerization

f TMPTA under visible or blue lights. The Pers/MDEA/R0-l system initiates the radical polymerization of TMPTAith a better efficiency than that of the well known cam-

horquinone/amine combination. Remarkably, the combi-ation of PTCTE with previously studied peryleneerivatives and an iodonium salt could initiate the thiol-ne (Trithiol/DVE-3) polymerization under exposure toousehold blue, green, yellow or red LED bulbs therebyllowing the manufacture of panchromatic films. Otherorks are in progress.
