Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a new class of photoinitiators and to copying compositions containing said photoinitiators and further comprising at least one polymeric binder and at least one ethylenicylly unsaturated polymerizable compound. The photoinitiator of the present invention is a compound of the following general Formula II: ##STR1## Further, this invention relates to a new class of compounds which correspond to the following general Formula I: ##STR2## and which are particularly suitable as photoinitiator compounds coming under Formula II.
