Abstract
A photopolymerization initiator composition almost free from deactivation and capable of giving a photopolymerizable composition which is almost free from a decrease in the photopolymerization rate in a medium having a high viscosity and shows a high curing rate, containing (A) a sulfonium organoboron complex or oxosulfonium organoboron complex of the formula (1), ##STR1## (B) a sensitizer having electron donating capability and electron acceptability in an excited state.
Claims8

- (A) a sulfonium organoboron complex or oxosulfonium organoboron complex of the formula (1), ##STR13## wherein R.sup.1 is benzyl, substituted benzyl, phenacyl, substituted phenacyl, aryloxy, substituted aryloxy, alkenyl or substituted alkenyl, each of R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 is independently benzyl, substituted benzyl, phenacyl, substituted phenacyl, aryloxy, substituted aryloxy, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, aralkyl, substituted aralkyl, alkynyl, substituted alkynyl, alicyclic, substituted alicyclic, alkoxy, substituted alkoxy, alkylthio, substituted alkylthio, amino, substituted amino, arylthio or substituted arylthio, or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 bond to each other to form a cyclic structure, R.sup.4 is oxygen or a lone pair of electrons, and each of R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 is independently alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, aralkyl, substituted aralkyl, alkenyl or substituted alkenyl, provided that not all of R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are aryl or substituted aryl groups, and
- (B) a sensitizer selected from the group consisting of a benzophenone derivative, a triazine derivative having a trihalogenomethyl group and 2,4-diethylthioxanthone.
