Since 2014, we have introduced in literature the use of phenylglyoxylic acid (PhCOCOOH), a small and commercially available organic molecule, as a potent promoter in a variety of photochemical processes. Although PhCOCOOH has a broad scope of photochemical reactions that can promote, the understanding of its mode of action in our early contributions was moderate. Herein, we are restudying and revisiting the mechanism of action of PhCOCOOH in most of these early contributions, providing a unified mechanism of action. Furthermore, the understanding of its action as a photoinitiator opened a new comparison study with known and commercially available photoinitiators.
自 2014 年以来，我们在文献中引入了苯氧基乙酸（PhCOCOOH）的使用，这是一种小型且可商购的有机分子，可用作各种光化学过程的有效促进剂。尽管 PhCOCOOH 具有广泛的光化学反应范围，但在我们早期的贡献中，对其作用机制的理解是有限的。在此，我们重新研究和重新考察了 PhCOCOOH 在这些早期贡献中的大部分作用机制，提供了一个统一的作用机制。此外，了解其作为光引发剂的作用也为与已知和市售光引发剂的新比较研究开辟了道路。
