Dimethyl trans-stilbene-4,4′-dicarboxylate functions as a photochemical initiator in radical polymerization reactions. When exposed to UV light, it undergoes a photodissociation process, generating free radicals that initiate the polymerization of monomers. Dimethyl Trans-Stilbene-4,4′-Dicarboxylate′s mechanism of action involves the absorption of UV light, leading to the cleavage of the carbon-carbon double bond in the molecule. Dimethyl Trans-Stilbene-4,4′-Dicarboxylate′s role in the experimental context is to facilitate the initiation of polymerization reactions under controlled conditions, allowing for the synthesis of polymers with specific properties and structures.
