Patent ID: 8734686

Claim:
A metal pattern composition comprising: a conductive metal or a conductive metal precursor compound; and a carboxylic acid-amine base ion pair salt, wherein the carboxylic acid-amine base ion pair salt is represented by the following Chemical Formula 2: wherein, in the above Chemical Formula 2, R 1 is a hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C18 alkyl, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C18 alkenyl, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C12 alkoxy, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C12 alkenyloxy, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C20 cycloalkyl, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 aryl, a substituted or unsubstituted C7 to C30 alkylarylene, a substituted or unsubstituted C7 to C30 arylalkylene, each of the foregoing being optionally substituted with an amino or carbonyl functional group, R 2 to R 4 are the same or different, and are each independently a hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C18 alkyl, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C18 alkenyl, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C20 cycloalkyl, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 aryl, a substituted or unsubstituted C7 to C30 alkylarylene, a substituted or unsubstituted C7 to C30 arylalkylene, or a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 heteroaryl, provided that at least one of R 2 to R 4 is not hydrogen, R 5 is a hydrogen or a C1 to C7 alkyl, R a and R b are the same or different, and are each independently a hydrogen or a C1 to C7 alkyl, and x is an integer ranging from 0 to about 17.
