A new class of sulfonium-centered cationic polymers functionalized with monometallic Sn, Sb, or Bi complexes—denoted BP-Sn, BP-Sb, and BP-Bi—is introduced as non-chemically amplified negative-tone photoresists alongside a metal-free analogue (BP). Maintaining nearly identical backbones and varying only the metal center enables precise control over organometal-specific effects, allowing direct comparative assessment of how Sn, Sb, and Bi govern key lithographic parameters. Systematic investigation reveals distinct performance profiles: BP-Sb achieves the highest sensitivity, BP-Bi delivers superior resolution, and BP-Sn exhibits the sharpest contrast. -
