Abstract

Abstract The cleavage of different photoinitiators (PIs) of polymerization is investigated by the ESR spin trapping using two different spin traps (STs): 5,5′‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrroline N ‐oxide (DMPO) and phenyl N ‐ tert ‐butyl nitrone (PBN). The hyperfine splitting constants for the different adducts are measured and provide a new set of data. These results show a difference of selectivity between the two (STs) and outline their complementarities. magnified image
