Abstract

In the second part of this review we highlight the bimolecular reactions (hydrogen abstraction, and energy or electron transfer) that take place in the photochemistry of poly(organophosphazenes). Both inter-molecular interactions (i.e. between excited free chromophores and ground state groups attached to the phosphazenes, or between excited phosphazene substituents and external quenchers) and intra-molecular processes (i.e. between excited and ground state groups geminally attached to the same phosphorus or supported to different phosphorus along the polyphosphazene skeleton) are exploited. Suggestions are given on the possible practical application of these reactions in different photochemical domains, e.g. heterogeneous-phase photosensitization, photocrosslinking, photoconductivity, microelectronics, light-induced radical polymerization of vinyl monomers, etc.
