## Abstract **Summary:** The onium salts of selected aliphatic and aromatic amino acids were investigated as electron donors in photoinduced free radical polymerization, in conjunction with either DIBF or BP as sensitizer. The laser flash photolysis experiments unmistakably documented that the free

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Photoredox pairs, composed of xanthone or thioxanthone derivatives acting as light absorbers and tetrabutylammonium salts of amino acids or sulfur‐containing amino acids as co‐initiators, were studied as photoinitiators for free‐radical polymerization. The mechanism of free‐radical formation was established using the laser flash photolysis. Measurements of polymerization kinetics show that the photoinitiation ability of the xanthone‐ or thioxanthone‐derivative/amino acid or sulfur‐containing amino acid pairs depends on the initiator and co‐initiator properties, mostly on the triplet state lifetime of xanthone or thioxanthone derivatives.
