Visible Light Photopolymerization Using Photochromic Indeno‐fused Naphthopyrans
Abstract A new indeno‐fused naphthopyran linked to a benzophenone nucleus was synthesized. This photochromic molecule functions as an efficient photoinitiator of radical polymerization under visible light (405 nm), enabling the straightforward manufacture of various detailed, soft and thin solid objects directly from a colorless liquid polyacrylate resin.
