There are new tricyclic tmidytderivate, for example those of the formula [n-1 or 2, Y = bridge member, X-functional group]. The new tricyclic imidyl derivatives are suitable for the production of polymers which can be crosslinked under the action of light by incorporation into existing polymer chains or by building up the polymer chain from tricyctic imidyl derivatives by definition with suitable functional groups X by polymerization or polycondensation. The light-crosslinkable polymers thus obtained can be used, for example, for the production of printing plates for the offset printing process and in particular as so-called photoresists. |
