During the past decades, visible light photoinitiators have been extensively studied due to the development of cheap and energy-saving irradiation sources, namely light-emitting diodes (LEDs). With aim at developing chromophores with absorption perfectly fitting the emission of LEDs, triphenylamine has been identified as a versatile building block for designing Type I and Type II photoinitiators of polymerization. In this review, an overview of different photoinitiators comprising a triphenylamine unit is presented. To evidence the interest of these structures, comparisons with benchmark photoinitiators is presented.
