Abstract
Abstract As a spectral sensitizer for photosensitive compositions containing a photolyzable organic halogen compound, at least one aromatic polycyclic compound having an ionization potential below about 7.4 is used. Preferred are colored, linear fused-ring polynuclear carbocyclic compounds (acenes) which are essentially unreactive with the organic halogen in the dark under room conditions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
19 words
The photosensitive composition of claim 1 in which said photolyzable organic halogen compounds are nongaseous compounds at room temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
30 words
The photosensitive composition of claim 1 in which said composition contains a compound which undergoes a chemical change in the presence of either a free radical halogen or an acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The photosensitive composition of claim 1 in which said composition contains a free radical polymerizable monomer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The photosensitive composition of claim 1 in which said composition contains an acid polymerizable monomer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The photosensitive composition of claim 1 in which said composition contains a compound which is capable of changing color in the acid environment created upon light exposure of a photolyzable organic halogen compound.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The photosensitive composition of claim 1 in which the molar ratio of said sensitizer to said organic halogen compound is from 1/20 to 2/1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The photosensitive composition of claim 1 in which said acene compound is free of amine groups which react with said organic halogen compound in the absence of light.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
10 words
A photosensitive layer containing the photosensitive composition of claim 1.
