Abstract

Eight N-heterocyclic carbene-boranes (NHC-boranes) are proposed as new efficient co-initiators for acrylate photopolymerization reactions. They are particularly interesting in aerated conditions, where they help overcome the classical oxygen inhibition. The carbene boryl radicals that are the initiating species have been characterized by their transient absorption spectra obtained in laser flash photolysis (LFP) experiments. Rate constants for the generation of the carbene boryl radicals by hydrogen abstraction with t-butoxyl radical and triplet benzophenone as well as the reactions with oxygen, electron rich and electron poor alkenes, two alkyl halides (CHCl3 and iodopropane) and diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate have been measured. The reactivity of N-heterocyclic carbene borane radicals is clearly affected by the NHC substituent. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.
