However, those compounds were rarely reported as photoinitiator. In this work, a salicylaldimine containing benzophenone moiety (BPH), and its boron complex (BPB) were synthesized and carried out as radical photoinitiator under 365/405 nm LED lamps. BPB was never synthesized before. Photopolymerization results indicate that BPB presented better initiation performance than that of BPH. Photolysis experiments
