Photopolymerization and its application in the dental, three‐dimensional (3D) printing,
coating and electronic industry has become increasingly popular over the last decades. A …

Located between silicon and tin in the periodic table, organogermanium compounds have
comparable abundant radical properties as well. According to earlier studies, various types …

We present a tool for predicting the initiation efficiency of various type 1 (α-cleavage)
photoinitiators for free radical photopolymerization. The amount of initiated polymer chains is …

We have developed a simple method for determining the quantum yields of photo-induced
reactions. Our setup features a fibre coupled UV-Vis spectrometer, LED irradiation sources …

Acylgermanes provide an outstanding photoinduced reactivity at very useful absorption
wavelengths. This encouraged multidisciplinary research groups to utilize them as highly …

We have investigated the inititiaton efficiency of carefully selected germanium-based
photointiators for radical polymerization. To establish a systematic relationship between …

In order to respond to the growing demand for radiation‐curable waterborne products like
hydrogels or inks, there is a need for water‐soluble radical photoinitiators exhibiting …

In the last few decades, there has been an increasing demand for photoinitiators with
growing requirements. Nowadays, photoinitiators need to fulfill several requirements such …

The first tetraacylstannanes Sn [(CO) R] 4 (R= 2, 4, 6‐trimethylphenyl (1 a) and 2, 6‐
dimethylphenyl (1 b)), a class of highly efficient Sn‐based photoinitiators, were synthesized …

Many academic and industrial works are carried out for the search of new classes of visible
light photoinitiators. In the last decade, new Type I photoinitiator generating silyl, germyl, or …
