Abstract
Several new classes of triarylsulfonium salts have been discovered which possess enhanced efficiency as photoinitiators of cationic polymerization. One of these compounds was identified among the components of the Friedel Crafts reaction of benzene with sulfur monochloride and chlorine. Specific new syntheses were developed and are described for the synthesis of these compounds in high yields. The development of several new thermal initiator systems for cationic polymerization based on dialkyl-4-hydroxyphenylsulfonium and dialkylphenacylsulfonium salts is also discussed.
