The compound's most noteworthy structural feature is the long ] of 1.54 ], which indicates the absence of pi-bonding between the two carbonyl centers. The PhCO centers are planar, but the pair of benzoyl groups are twisted with respect to the other with a ] of 117°.<ref>Quang. Shen, Kolbjoern.

Most benzil is consumed for use in the free-radical ] of ] networks. ] radiation decomposes benzil, generating free-radical species within the material, promoting the formation of ]s.


===Reactions=== == Applications ==
Most benzil can be used as a photoinitiator in the free-radical ] of ] networks. It absorbs ] radiation at a wavelength of 260&nbsp;nm, leading to decomposition with formation of free-radical species and formation of ]s within the material. However, it is a relatively poor photoinitiator, and is seldom used. It undergoes ], which allows the curing light to reach deeper layers of the material on longer exposure.<ref name="Green2010">{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=b1jRBQAAQBAJ&dq=benzil+photoinitiator&pg=PA31 |page= 31 |title = Industrial Photoinitiators: A Technical Guide|isbn = 9781439827468|last1 = Green|first1 = W.

Benzil is a standard building block in ]. It condenses with amines to give ]s ligands. A classic ] of benzil is the ], in which base catalyses the conversion of benzil to benzilic acid. This reactivity is exploited in the preparation of the drug ]. Benzil also reacts with ] in an ] to give ].


Benzil is a potent ] of human ]s, ]s involved in the hydrolysis of carboxylesters and many clinically used drugs.<ref>Wadkins. R.
