Abstract: There is disclosed a resin composition comprising(A) a spiro ortho ester compound and/or a spiro ortho carbonate compound;(B) an aluminum compound; and(C) a silanol compound or a silicon compound which is capable of generating a silanol group;the amounts of components (B) and (C) being within the range of 0.001 to 10% by weight and 0.1 to 20% by weiht, based on the amount of component (A), respectively.The resin composition of this invention is excellent in volumetric shrinkage performance at curing operation and is good in storability. Therefore, the cured product can be used for a wide variety of industrially valuable applications, such as an ink, a coating, an adhesive, a surface coating, an encapsulation and an electrical insulating material.
Abstract: Novel xanthones and thioxanthones of the formula I ##STR1## in which A, X, Y, Z, E and E' are as defined in patent claim 1, are described. A is preferably --S-- and E and E' are preferably bonded in the ortho-position relative to one another. The compounds (I) are suitable, for example, as sensitizers for photocrosslinkable polymers or photocurable compositions, or for use in mixtures with polymers with H donor groups for image formation, in particular electrically conductive coatings and patterns, by means of electroless deposition of metals.

Abstract: The novel thioxanthones of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, X and W are as defined in patent claim 1, are suitable, for example, for the preparation of photosensitive, compositions of matter which are capable of undergoing condensation or addition reactions and may or may not be crosslinkable, and which in turn are used for image formation, in particular by means of electroless deposition of metals. Such compositions of matter contain, for example, a thioxanthone of the formula I, an oligomer or polymer with terminal glycidyl groups and, where relevant, a crosslinking agent and/or a salt of a metal or group Ib or VIII of the Periodic Table.
