Abstract

The present invention relates to anionic photoinitiator compounds, compositions containing them, and methods of using them having the structure: ##STR1## wherein X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of a direct single bond and --C(.dbd.O)--, wherein at least one of X and Y is --C(.dbd.O)--; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from the group consisting of H and substituted phenyl, wherein both R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are not H; and wherein neither --X--R.sup.1 nor --Y--R.sup.2 is --C(.dbd.O)H. The anionic photoinitiators have improved storage stability, without loss of photosensitivity, even when stored with polymerizable or crosslinkable monomer, oligomer, or crosslinkable polymer species.
