Abstract

Abstract Efficient generation of the organic radicals is a fundamental technology for preparing the spintronic materials. In this Letter, we present the chemical reaction of the three radical generation from a single photon. A photo acid generator which can release the multiple acid molecules via the automatic amplification mechanism was synthesized. The synthesized acid generator immediately released methanesulfonic acid by UV irradiation. ...
