Development of New High-Performance Biphenyl and Terphenyl Derivatives as Versatile Photoredox Photoinitiating Systems and Their Applications in 3D Printing Photopolymerization Processes
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Ortyl and coworkers described the development of biphenyl derivatives as photoinitiating systems for different photopolymerization processes. The article is quite interesting and can be accepted for publication on Catalysts after some revisions.
The authors should add in the title terphenyl, because B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, and B7 are terphenyls.
The authors explain in the abstract that the biphenyl derivatives are novel. If these compounds are new, the authors should describe the 13C NMR and HRMS of all new compounds. Also the 1H, and 13C NMR copies of the compounds should be added to the supporting information.
In the references, the name of the journals and the volume should be in italics, while the year in bold.

Thank you for the good advice. We changed the title of the manuscript.

Authors:
Thank you for the good advice.
Additional analytical data of newly synthesized compounds were included in the revised version of supplementary materials:
copies of 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra and elemental analyses.In the references, the name of the journals and the volume should be in italics, while the year in bold.
Authors:
Thank you for the information. I made a correction in the references list.
Finally, the authors would like thank reviewer for the effort spent on evaluation of the manuscript and for all the comments and suggestions that helped improve the paper quality. THANK YOU!

Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscripy by W. Tomal et al. describes "Development of New High-Performance Biphenyl Derivatives as Versatile Photoredox Photoinitiating Systems and their Applications in 3D printing Photopolymerization Processes." Here tha authors developed a class of photosensitizers that in combination of iodonium salts or amines that are capable of photopolymerizations of different monomers. These systems have practical implications in 3D printing in modern technology. Thus, I recommend its publication in Catalysts in its present form. However, there are the following typos that should be addressed in the revised manuscript:
line 124 glicidyles
line 373 "n" it should be "nm"
In Supplementary materials, in Figs. S29-S42 labeling of fluorescence spectra and absorption spectra should be corrected.

Reviewer 3 Report
In this manuscript the authors have developed a novel UV/vis light photoinitiating systems to be used in photopolymerization. They have accomplished a challenging job by compiling and testing acomprehensive list of biaryl derivatives. This comprehensive study should of interest to the readers of Catalysts.
