Abstract: Pigment compositions containing organic pigments with an outstanding migration-free property and an excellent rheology at high concentration, and derivatives thereof containing heterocyclic substituents. The pigment compositions contains (a) carbon black or an organic pigment containing a chromophore Q1 of the following formula, wherein Z1 and Z2 are O or N—, C· is a carbon atom with an electron in a p orbital, and n is an integer from 1 to 4; and (b) a compound containing a chromophore of the following formula (II), wherein Q2 is an m-valent residue of carbon black or of the chromophore Q1; G1 is preferably and R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R8 are preferably all H; m is an integer from 1 to 4. The pigment compositions can be used as rheology modifiers, preferably for pigmented coating compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compound comprising a chromophore of formula (II), wherein m is an integer from 1 to 4, preferably 1 or 2; Q2 is a residue of carbon black or of a chromophore which comprises at least one group of the formula (I) or a cis/trans isomer thereof, wherein Z1 and Z2 are each independently of the other O or N—, each C. is independently of all others C.
