Abstract: Novel crystal forms of solid solutions of 2,9-dimethyoxyquinacridone and 2,9-dichloroquinacridone. The crystal forms may be formed by a process comprising the steps of: a) heating a mixture of 2,5-di(4-methoxyanilino)terephthalic acid, and 2,5-di(4-chloroanilino)terephthalic acid in polyphorsphoric acid at a temperature less than 1050 C to form a mixture of 2,9-dimethoxyquinacridone and 2,9-dichloroquinacridone; b) combining the mixture of 2,9-dimethoxyquinacridone and 2,9-dichloroquinacridone with water; and c) heating the mixture of 2,9-dimethoxyquinacridone and 2,9-dichloroquinacridone at a temperature not more than 110° C. Another crystal form may be formed by the process of heating a mixture of 2,9-dimethoxyquinacridone and 2,9-dichloroquinacridone in a polar aprotic solvent. These products are may be used for coloring fibers, plastics, paints, coatings, printing inks, color filters, cosmetics, automotive coatings, textiles, fibers, powder coatings, in-mold coatings, laminate films, and the like.

Abstract: A method for preparing a perylene pigment or perinone pigment involves a condensation reaction between perylene tetracarboxylic acid or naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid, or anhydrides or imides thereof, and amines in the presence of certain metal catalysts, such as ammonium molybdate, molybdenum oxide, and metal carbonyls, such as hexacarbonylmolybdenum, titanium carbonyl, iron carbonyls, and the like. The use of these catalysts provides various advantages, including the reduction of the amount of the catalyst, while achieves high yields, the lowering of reaction temperatures, and the reduction of insoluble sludge in the reaction mixture, thereby making the reaction operation easier and reducing the amounts of hazardous wastes containing heavy metals.
