Abstract
The photocleavage mechanism of N-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-1,8-naphthalimide usable as a photoacid generator is reported. Stationary fluorescence measurements, picosecond transient spectroscopy, infrared analysis and DFT calculations support a homolytic N–O bond cleavage followed by an internal cyclic rearrangement of the 1,8 naphthalimide core which lead to benz[cd]indol-2(1H)-one, carbon dioxide and sulfonic acid.
