Abstract
Photopolymerization of a vinyl monomer initiated by manganese carbonyl in association with ethyl trichloroacetate is followed by a prolonged after-effect if a suitable solvent is present, e.g., acetylacetone or cyclohexanone; the observations are consistent with unsymmetric fission of Mn2(CO)10 on photolysis, and subsequent reaction of one fragment [Mn(CO)6] with solvent to give a species of relatively long life which generates radicals by reaction with the halide.Keywords
