A series of dyes based on the acenaphthoquinoxaline skeleton was synthesized. Their structure was modified by introducing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, increasing the number of conjugated double bonds and the number and position of nitrogen atoms, as well as the arrangement of aromatic rings (linear or angular). The dyes were investigated as a component in the photoinitiating systems of radical polymerization for a potential application in dentistry. They acted as the primary absorber of visible light and the acceptor of an electron, which was generated from a second component being an electron donor. Thus, the radicals were generated by the photoinduced intermolecular electron transfer (PET) process. Electron donors used differed in the type of heteroatom, i.e., O, S and N and the number and position of methoxy substituents. To test the ability to initiate the polymerization reaction by photoinduced hydrogen atom transfer, we used 2-mercaptobenzoxazole as a co-initiator. The effectiveness of the photoinitiating systems clearly depends on both the modified acenaphthoquinocaline structure and the type of co-initiator. The lower amount of heat released during the chain reaction and the polymerization rate comparable to this achieved for the photoinitiator traditionally used in dentistry (camphorquinone) indicates that the studied dyes may be valuable in this field.
