  • Patent number: 4619784
    Abstract: There are disclosed diffusion transfer color processes and products which employ novel image dye-providing materials which provide image dyes having the chromophoric system represented by the formula ##STR1## X is H, alkyl, aryl or substituted aryl; W is H or alkyl, R is H or alkyl; m and n are each integers of from 2 to 6.The image dye-providing material includes a diffusion control moiety such as a hydroquinonyl group and may be diffusible or nondiffusible as a function of the diffusion control moiety.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 1980
    Date of Patent: October 28, 1986
    Assignee: Polaroid Corporation, Patent Dept.
    Inventors: Louis Locatell, Jr., Charles M. Zepp, Ronald F. Cieciuch
  • Patent number: 4405788
    Abstract: There are described novel dye compounds which are represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein A is ##STR2## X is H, alkyl, aryl such as phenyl or naphthyl, or substituted aryl; W is H or alkyl; R is H or alkyl; Z and Y are each H or monovalent radicals; l and p are each 1 or 2 and m and n are each integers of from 2-6.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 26, 1979
    Date of Patent: September 20, 1983
    Assignee: Polaroid Corporation
    Inventors: Louis Locatell, Jr., Charles M. Zepp, Ronald F. Cieciuch
  • Patent number: 4386216
    Abstract: Diffusion transfer color processes and products are disclosed employing image-dye providing materials providing magenta image dyes having the chromophoric system represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein each R is the same or different and is an alkyl group, and each X is the same or different and is hydrogen or an alkyl group (including substituted alkyl). The dye image-providing material includes a diffusion control moiety, such as a hydroquinonyl group, and may be diffusible or nondiffusible as a function of the diffusion control moiety.
    Type: Grant
