Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composition for an optical material contains (a) an episulfide compound, (b) a polymerization catalyst, and (c) an ester compound having a halogen at the α position. The (c) ester compound having a halogen at the α position is preferably at least one compound selected from the group consisting of dimethyl chloromalonate, diethyl chloromalonate, dimethyl bromomalonate, and diethyl bromomalonate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A composition for optical materials containing an episulfide compound (a), a polymerization catalyst (b), and an ester compound having a halogen at α position (c), wherein the ester compound having a halogen at α position (c) is a compound represented by formula (10): wherein: X represents a halogen; and R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a hydrocarbon having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. 2 . The composition for optical materials according to claim 1 , wherein the episulfide compound (a) is a compound represented by formula (1): wherein: m represents an integer of 0 to 4; and n represents an integer of 0 to 2. 3 . The composition for optical materials according to claim 1 , which further comprises a polythiol compound. 4 . The composition for optical materials according to claim 1 , which further comprises sulfur and/or a compound represented by formula (9): wherein: X represents S, Se or Te; a to f=0 to 3; 8≥(a+c+e)≥1; 8≥(b+d+f)≥2; and (b+d+f)≥(a+c+e). 5 . The composition for optical materials according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (10) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of dimethyl chloromalonate, diethyl chloromalonate, dimethyl bromomalonate and diethyl bromomalonate. 6 . An optical material obtained by polymerizing the composition for optical materials according to claim 1 . 7 . The composition for optical materials according to claim 4 , which comprises sulfur.
