The invention provides a
sulfonium salt containing
pyrazoline groups and a preparation method and an application thereof, wherein the general formula of the
sulfonium salt is shown in the description;R <0> and R <1> are independently selected from
hydrogen,
halogen atom, R', OH, OR', CH2OH, CH2OR', NR'R <0>, CH2NR'R <0>, CF3, NO2 or CN; R2 is selected from
aryl groups substituted by CH2R or R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8; R3 is selected from
aryl groups substituted by CH2R or R9, R10, R11, R12 and R13; the
sulfonium salt is monosubstituted on the phenyl ring, and the substitution position is selectedfrom the ortho, meta or
para position of the
pyrazoline group; X- is selected from Cl-, CF3SO3-, CH3SO3-, BF4-, B(Ph)4-, B(PhF5)4-, PF6-, SbF6-, (CF3CF2)nPF6-n- or ((CF3)3CO) 4Al; the sulfonium salt containing the
pyrazoline group can be excited by the LED, and has good light absorption and photo-acid generation properties; in addition, the preparation method has the advantages of simple process,low cost, less
pollution and high yield, and can be used for industrial production.
