We designed and prepared a series of methyl benzoylformate (MBF) derivatives Norrish type I photoinitiators (MBFs) for light-emitting diode (LED)-induced photopolymerization through computer simulation. The potential photolysis mechanism of MBFs under LED at 405 nm was explored by steady-state photolysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, and electron spin resonance. The as-synthesized photoinitiator dimethyl 1,4-dibenzoylformate (DM-BD-F) can efficiently initiate free radical photopolymerization of acrylate monomers under LED irradiation at 405 nm. Moreover, we predicted well the photoinitiating capability of MBFs through the cleavage exothermy (ΔH) calculated by triplet bond dissociation energy (BDE) and triplet energy (ET). Significantly, based on the weak absorption of MBFs at 405 nm, MBFs were successfully applied to deep-layer photocuring and the curing depth reached 6.5 cm after the irradiation of LED at 405 nm for 30 s. This research provides a new idea and efficient strategy for the molecular design of photoinitiators for deep-layer photocuring.
