A. Sustic et al., FUNCTIONAL POLYMERS .61. ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRAL BEHAVIOR OF SELECTED 2(2-HYDROXYPHENYL)2H-BENZOTRIAZOLES, Pure and applied chemistry, A32(8-9), 1995, pp. 1601-1611
Ultraviolet spectra of a number of 2(2-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazoles
were studied in nonpolar, polar, and hydrogen bonding solvents. The e
ffect of substituents located in the 4-position of the benzotriazole r
ing was investigated, and the effect on the UV absorption characterist
ics of 2(2-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazoles was determined. Substituted
resorcinol or phloroglucinol-based 2(2-hydroxyphenyl)2H-benzotriazole
derivatives were investigated with special emphasis on UV absorption
characteristics that were expected to be useful as polymer-bound UV st
abilizers in optical lens applications.
