Abstract
Abstract A dye useful for absorbing infrared radiation in photographic elements, having the structure: is disclosed. In this formula, R₁ and R₂ each independently represents sulfoalkyl, carboxyalkyl, or sulfatoalkyl, from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, having 2 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain linking the nitrogen atom of each Z ring and the sulfo or sulfato group, and 1 carbon atom in the alkyl chain linking the nitrogen atom of each Z ring and the carboxy group. R₃ and R₅ are each hydrogen or together represent the atoms necessary to complete a 5- or 6-membered carbocycylic ring, and R₄ represents hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogen, cyano, or where R₆ and R₇ each independently represents alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or aryl or together represent the non-metallic atoms necessary to form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring. X ⊕ represents a cation. Z₁ and Z₂ each independently represent the atoms needed to complete an indole, naphthindole or benzindole nucleus.
