The kinetics aspects of the photoinitiated polymerization of tetrahydrofuran with triphenylsulfonium hexafluoroarsenate and sensitized by phenothiazine was studied under visible-light irradiation. A photosensitizer mechanism was proposed involving electron transfer from phenothiazine to the tripheny
