Abstract

Butyl methacrylate was found to affect the composition of radical intermediates formed in the photoreduction of benzophenone with triethylamine. In the presence of the monomer, the yield of free radicals decreased and the yield of complexes of the geminate radical pair increased. This was explained by the formation of excited ternary complexes resulted from the interaction of the excited triplet state of benzophenone with the ground-state complex of butyl methacrylate and triethylamine. The substituent effect in benzophenone on the stability of the radical complex was studied. The reaction rate constant for the decay of the radical complex was correlated with the Hammett σ0 c constant that determines the mesomeric effect of the substituent.
