Abstract: Chromogenic dicyanomethylenepyrazolinone for thermographic recording processes and the corresponding cyanomethylene dyes of the formula ##STR1## in which R is hydrogen, hydroxyl, amino, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl or a heterocyclic radical, T.sub.1 and T.sub.2, independently of one another, are each hydrogen, unsubstituted or halogen-, hydroxyl-, cyano- or lower alkoxy-substituted alkyl having a maximum of 12 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 5 to 10 carbon atoms or unsubstituted or halogen-, cyano-, lower alkyl- or lower alkoxy-(ring)substituted phenalkyl or phenyl, or T.sub.1 and T.sub.2 together with the nitrogen linking them are a five- or six-membered heterocyclic radical, and rings A and B, independently of one another, are unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, cyano, nitro, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, (lower alkyl)carbonyl or (lower alkoxy)carbonyl.
