Summary
The series of 6-bromo-3-ethyl-2-styrylbenzothiazolium n-butyltriphenylborates was synthesized and evaluated as photoinitiators of free radical polymerization. The dyes were obtained by the condensation reaction of the 6-bromo-3-ethyl-2-methylbenzothiazolium salts with different alkylaminobenzaldehydes. The resulting styrylbenzothiazole dyes (hemicyanine dyes) paired with n-butyltriphenylborate anion (SBrB2), are shown to be efficient photoinitiators for free radical polymerization of trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) induced with the visible emission of an argon-ion laser. The photochemistry of the novel hemicyanine borates was compared to the photochemistry of identical series of the dyes that do not possess the bromo substituent at benzothiazolium residue. The comparison has shown that the introduction of the bromine into benzothiazolium residue causes a small red shift of the electronic absorption maxima, changes the reduction potential of the dye and, finally, increases a photoinitiation ability of the dye.
