  • Patent number: 5710273
    Abstract: A complex crystal is composed of anion of triiodine and cation of a fused compound consisting essentially of at least one nitrogen atom and at least 3 aromatic fused rings. Since the complex crystal has such a stable structure, it shows excellent heat resistance and excellent moisture resisting property. Furthermore, the complex crystal has light-polarizing performance because of an arrangement of the molecular chain of iodine. Moreover, the complex crystal exhibits excellent polarization because of an interaction between the fused compound and iodine. Therefore, the complex crystal is suitable for use as light-adjusting particles of a light valve or a light-adjusting glass.

  • Patent number: 5281709
    Abstract: Disclosed is the process for the preparation of dye having excellent heat- and light-resistance. The dye can preferably be employed as a colorant for heat-resistant resin materials such as polyamide, as a colorant and a charge control agent for an electrostatic image developing toner (i.e. positively chargeable toner), and as a colorant for writing ink composition having a good aging stability. The process of the present invention comprising (a) mixing crude azine dye, produced by condensation of anilines or aniline hydrochlorides with nitrobenzenes in the presence of catalysts, with organic solvents; and (b) extracting by-products from the crude azine dye mixture.

  • Patent number: 4861564
    Abstract: The compounds of the invention comprise the condensation product, as well as derivatives thereof, of two equivalents of a trimethyl cyclohexane-anhydride acid chloride derivative with one equivalent of an aromatic diamine. The scope of the invention includes the method of using the compounds of the invention as chelating agents for metals, metal ions or ions of metal complexes. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the binding moieties of the cyclohexane derivatives are rigidly held opposite each other, by restricting their rotation about the N-C aryl bonds, in order to more effectively bind the metals or the ions.
