General structural formula of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-benzotriazoles

2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-2H-benzotriazoles, also referred to as phenolic benzotriazoles, are an important class of UV absorbers[1] comprising the benzotriazole building block.

Structure

[edit]

The molecules are composed of substituted benzotriazoles with a phenyl group in the 2-position, which carries a hydroxy group in the ortho-position.[2]
