Summary
Nanosecond laser spectroscopy is applied to the determination of the rate constants of several processes involved in the photochemistry of a series of substituted benzophenones. The results allow the initiation of a vinyl monomer polymerization to be discussed and reveal a peculiarity of the benzene/THF system.
