Application

4-Benzoylbiphenyl is a key reagent employed in the synthesis of multicolored mechanochromic luminogen molecules. It is characterized by its slightly yellow to beige crystalline powder form. Known also as HRcure-PBZ, this compound functions as a low-odor photoinitiator, meaning it absorbs light photons and forms reactive species in its excited state, thereby triggering subsequent reactions. As a benzophenone analog with substantial aromatic ring systems, its properties have been studied alongside other similar compounds. Notably, Sakamoto and colleagues have explored these properties in the excited state using advanced photolysis techniques, highlighting its significance in photochemical applications.
