Photoinduced crystallization of calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) was demonstrated by the photodecarboxylation of ketoprofen (KP, 2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid) under alkaline conditions (pH 10). In this method, a homogeneous solution comprising KP, calcium chloride, ammonia, and partially hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAPS , degree of saponification: 86.5–89.03 formed and the complete conversion of calcium ions to calcite was achieved after 50PS matrix.
