Abstract
The sensitivities to γ rays were investigated for photo acid generators: N-sulfonyloxy phthalimide 2, N-sulfonyloxy succinimide 3, N-sulfonyloxy 1, 8-naphthalimide 4, N-tosyloxy 5-norbomene-2, 3-dicarboximide 5, triphenylsulfonium trifluoromethane-sulfonate 6, diphenyliodonium chloride 7 and chloroform 8. The acid generation efficiency was monitored by the use of acid sensitive dye, fluoran dye 1a. The efficiency for γ irradiation decreased in the order 7>2>6>5>3>4. In the case of 8, decomposition of 1a was accompanied. 7 and 8 were of no practical use because volatile hydrogen chloride was generated. The others (2-6) generate methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid which are not so volatile acid as hydrogen chloride. N-sulfonyloxy imide compounds (2-5) have an advantage for practical use as dosimeter because these reagents dissolve in either polar or nonpolar solvent.
