The invention relates to synthesis and application of p-methoxyl-containing 
Schiff base type visible light 
photosensitizer with a conjugated structure. A 
photosensitizer plays important roles of absorbing light and performing light action. The 
peak value of UV-visible absorption reaches over 380 nm, the half-peak width is about 100 nm, so that the visible light 
photosensitizer completely meets the requirement of visible light absorption and can be used for visible light 
polymerization. A general formula of a 
chemical structure of the visible light photosensitizer is shown as right, wherein compounds in the molecular 
structural formula (I) represent A:R1, R3:H, R2:OCH3, OCH2CH3, OCH2CH2CH3, OCH2CH2CH2CH3, N(CH3)2, N(CH2CH3)2, N(CH2CH2CH3)2, N(CH2CH2CH2CH3)2, N(Ph)2; B:(R1:H, OCH3, R2, R3:OCH3). The p-methoxyl-containing 
Schiff base type visible light photosensitizer with the conjugated structure is performed 
chemical modification to ensure that the 
peak value of the UV-visible absorption shifts to over 380 nm; and the p-methoxyl-containing 
Schiff base type visible light photosensitizer with the conjugated structure can be used as a visible light photosensitizer to form a photosensitive 
system used for visible light 
polymerization of vinyl monomers in solution with an 
ultraviolet initiator and other auxiliary agents, or can be used for a photocuring material.
