The photochemistry of isotopically labelled poly(vinylacetophenone) (PVAP) has been investigated, with a view to determining the point of H-atom abstraction from the polymer. Poly(ct-Dvinylacetophenone) (DPVAP) and poly [3.[3 dideuterovinyl(acetophenone) (D2PVAP) were irradiated under high vacuum wi

โฆ Synopsis
Almtract--Upon u.v. irradiation at 2in c = 253.7 nm poly(alkyl acrylates) and poly(alkyl methacrylates) form a new absorption band around 280 nm. This band is assigned at least partly to aldehyde groups attached to the main-chain. Aldehyde groups formed upon irradiation of poly(methyl methacrylate) were converted to 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone groups and detected by absorption spectroscopy performed in conjunction with gel permeation chromatography. Quantum yields of carbonyl groups capable of reacting with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine were determined: t# (CO) = 4.4 x 10 -4 (argon) and ~b (CO) = 8.0 x 10 -4 (air).
