Photodissociation of a widely used photopolymerization initiator, 2-chlorohexaarylbiimidazole (o-Cl-HABI), is studied in dichloromethane solution in the absence and presence of the visible light photosensitizing dye, 2,5-bis[(2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H,5H-benzo[ij]quinolizin-1-yl) methylene]cyclopentanone (JAW). Laser flash photolysis at 480 nm is employed. In the absence of JAW, the o-Cl-HABI dissociates into triarylimidazolyl radicals (L*). In the presence of JAW, an increase in L* formation is observed. The mechanism of this photosensitization of dissociation is explored. It is concluded that this increase occurs by the dissociation of the o-Cl-HABI radical anion formed by electron transfer from the excited singlet state of JAW to o-Cl-HABI. The observed formation of L* radicals exhibits a linear dependence on o-Cl-HABI concentration. The rate constant of electron transfer obtained from this dependence is equal to (2.2 {plus_minus} 0.4) {times} 10{sup 9} M{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1}. No reaction between the excited triplet state of JAW and p-Cl-HABI is found. 22 refs., 10 figs.
