In this contribution we show that photodegradation of two model compounds, 2,6-dimethyl-diphenylether (DMDPE) and 4-(2',6'-dimethylphenoxy)-2,6-dimethylphenol (DIMEOH), takes place also in low temperature, oxygen-free solutions. Therefore, mechanisms must exist which start the degradation of these model compounds as well as of the polymer even in the absence of oxygen. Based on quantum-chemical model calculations it is suggested that 1,5-hydrogen transfer is a hitherto ignored decay channel in the photodegradation of PPE.
