Abstract: Red colorants comprising a chromophore having at least one poly(oxyalkylene) chain attached to the 1-position, as well as at least one poly(oxyalkylene) chain attached to either the 5-position or the 8-position of an anthraquinone backbone are provided. Such colorants exhibit excellent base stability, effective colorations, excellent low extraction rates, and high lightfastness levels, particularly when incorporated within certain media and/or on the surface of certain substrates, particularly polyesters. The poly(oxyalkylene) chains also increase the solubility in different solvents or resins thereby permitting the introduction of such excellent coloring chromophores within diverse media and/or diverse substrates as well as provides a liquid colorant which facilitates handling. Compositions and articles comprising such colorants are provided as well as methods for producing such inventive colorants are also provided.

Abstract: Blue colorants comprising a chromophore having at least one poly(oxyalkylene) chain attached to the 1- position, the 4- position, or both, through aromatic amino group or groups, of an anthraquinone backbone are provided. Such colorants exhibit excellent amine/base stability and thermal stability, effective colorations, excellent low extraction rates, and high lightfastness levels, particularly when incorporated within certain media and/or on the surface of certain substrates, particularly polyesters, polyolefins, and polyurethanes. The poly(oxyalkylene) chain or chains can be conveniently tailored to increase the solubility or compatibility in different solvents or resins thereby permitting the introduction of such excellent coloring chromophores within diverse media and/or or diverse substrates as well as provides a liquid colorant which facilitates handling. Compositions and articles comprising such colorants are provided as well as methods for producing such inventive colorants.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a tertiary non-linear optical material comprising a quinone derivative expressed by any one of the general formulas: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are as defined above, or the formula: ##STR2## The tertiary non-linear material enables the co-existence of large tertiary non-linear optical susceptibility and high-speed response.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of N,N'-disubstituted 1,4-diaminoanthraquinones has been found which is characterized in that 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinones are reacted with aliphatic or aromatic amines in the presence of a hydroxycarboxylic acid as a condensation auxiliary.

Abstract: The invention relates to fibre-reactive anthraquinone dyes of formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, B, U, R and n are as defined in claim 1. The anthraquinone dyes of formula (1) are suitable for dyeing or printing hydroxyl group containing or nitrogen-containing fibre materials and give dyeings or prints of good allround fastness properties.

Abstract: Anthraquinone dyes of the formula ##STR1## in which A, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and n are as defined in claim 1, produce dyeings having good fastness properties on nitrogen-containing or hydroxyl-containing fibre materials.

Abstract: High-purity 1,4,5,8-tetraanilidoanthraquinones which are substituted at the p-position of at least one of four anilido benzene rings by a halogen atom are good near infrared rays absorbing filters and at prepared from high purity 1,4,5,8-tetrachloroanthraquinone by reaction with a correspondingly substituted aniline or mixture of anilines in the presence of a salt of an aliphatic carboxylic acid,. a benzyl alcohol derivative and copper ions as reaction catalyst.

Abstract: Polyester textile material can be dyed from supercritical CO.sub.2 with special disperse dyes.

Abstract: Disclosed are a novel compound represented by the formula ##STR1## and compositions for sublimation transfer records and for color toners containing the same.
