A. Mejiritski et al., QUANTUM YIELD DETERMINATION FOR PHOTOLYSIS OF PHOTOIMAGEABLE POLYMER IN THIN-FILMS, Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. A, Chemistry, 108(2-3), 1997, pp. 289-293
We have established a procedure for quantum yield determination for th
e photolysis of photoimageable polymers in thin films. Previously, we
have discovered that electron transfer in polymers bearing benzophenon
e ammonium berate salt pendants is followed by bond cleavage leading t
o the formation of the polymeric amine. A measured solid state quantum
efficiency of 0.15 makes this class of compounds interesting as precu
rsors for polymeric amine generation. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
