Leuco Sulphur Black 1,R.sup.1 if hydrogen, alkyl,M.sym. is an alkali metal cation andn is such a large number that the dye contains 5 to 20% by weight of COO.sup..crclbar. groups are, inter alia, outstandingly suitable for producing recording fluids.

Abstract: Aryl and aralkyl sulfide, sulfoxide or sulfone compounds as charge regulatorsUse of aryl sulfide, sulfoxide or sulfone compounds (sic) of the structural type ##STR1## where m is 1, 2 or 3 and n is 0, 1 or 2 and A and B are a hydrogen or metal ion, an ammonium, immonium or guanidinium ion or a phosphonium, arsonium or stilbonium ion, as charge regulators for electrophotographic toners, developers, powders and powder coatings.Use of aryl sulfide, sulfoxide or sulfone compounds having the structural type (I), in which m=1, 2 or 3, n=0, 1 or 2 and A and B represent a hydrogen or metal ion, an ammonium, immonium or guanidinium ion or a phosphonium, arsonium or stilbonium ion, as charge regulators for electrophotographic toners, developers, powders or powder coatings.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the general formula I ##STR1## wherein A.sup..sym. and B.sup..sym. independently of one another denote a proton, with the limitation that they do not both simultaneously denote protons, the equivalent part of the barium ion, an ion of the general formula II ##STR2## or an ion of the general formula III ##STR3## and wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.8, R.sup.11 to R.sup.16, X and m and n are as defined in the description, processes for their preparation and their use as charge control agents in toners and developers and as charge improving agents in powders and varnishes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for dyeing leather by the exhaust method, characterized in that water-insoluble sulphur dyes in dispersed form are used.

Abstract: The wet-fastness properties of cellulose materials dyed with sulfur dyestuffs is improved by treating the cellulose materials, before, during or after dyeing, with a polymer which is a copolymer or homopolymer of a monomer of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 denote, for example, hydrogen or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.22)-alkyl; R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 denote hydrogen or methyl; and Y.sup..crclbar. denotes, for example, a monovalent anion.

Abstract: Preparation of phthalocyanine sulphur dyestuffs is improved by reducing phthalocyaninesulphochlorides in the presence of hydriodic acid and a non-free metal reducing agent which converts iodine into hydriodic acid.

Abstract: An improved process for preparation of a condensed product of phenothiazine and p-nitrosophenol which contains more than 60% by weight of indophenol S-oxide of the formula ##STR1## by condensing phenothiazine with p-nitrosophenol in sulphuric acid wherein the improvement comprises the phenothiazine being in 60 to 90% strength sulphuric acid at the time of addition of the p-nitrosophenol.

Abstract: Green sulfur dyestuff is produced by reacting phenothiazine in sulfuric acid with an oxidizing agent, condensing the oxidized phenothiazine with p-nitrosophenol and thionating with sulfur and sodium sulfide the condensate in a bake or reflux process.
