Abstract
Abstract An infra-red absorbing phthalocyanine compound in which each of at least five of the peripheral carbon atoms in the 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13 or 16 positions (the "3,6-positions") of the phthalocyanine nucleus, as shown in Formula I, is linked by an atom from Group VB or Group VIB of the Periodic Table, other than oxygen, to a carbon atom of an organic radical. In preferred compounds each of the eight 3,6-positions is linked by an atoms from Group VB or Group VIB, especially sulphur, selenium or nitrogen, to an organic radical. <IMAGE> I

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A phthalocyanine compound in which each of five of the peripheral carbon atoms in the 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 16 positions of the phthalocyanine nucleus, as shown in the following formula: ##STR4## is linked by a sulphur, selenium, tellurium or nitrogen atom to a carbon atom of an organic radical selected from alkyl, alkenyl, C 4-8 -cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted by a group selected from alkoxy, alkylthio, halogen, cyano and aryl; or selected from phenyl, phenylene, naphthyl, naphthylene and mono or bicyclic heteroaryl which are unsubstituted or substituted by a group selected from alkyl, alkoxy and alkylthio and halogen substituents thereof, phenyl, phenylthio, halogen, nitro, cyano, carboxyl, aralkyl, aryl- and alkyl-sulphonamido, aryl- and alkyl-sulphone, aryl and alkyl-sulphoxide, hydroxy and primary, secondary and tertiary amino, in which all alkyl groups contain up to 20 carbon atoms and all aryl groups are mono- or bi-homo- or hetero-cyclic.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A phthalocyanine compound in which each of five of the peripheral carbon atoms in the 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 16 positions of the phthalocyanine nucleus, as shown in the following formula: ##STR4## is linked by a sulphur, selenium, tellurium or nitrogen atom to a carbon atom of an organic radical selected from alkyl, alkenyl, C 4-8 -cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted by a group selected from alkoxy, alkylthio, halogen, cyano and aryl; or selected from phenyl, phenylene, naphthyl, naphthylene and mono or bicyclic heteroaryl which are unsubstituted or substituted by a group selected from alkyl, alkoxy and alkylthio and halogen substituents thereof, phenyl, phenylthio, halogen, nitro, cyano, carboxyl, aralkyl, aryl- and alkyl-sulphonamido, aryl- and alkyl-sulphone, aryl and alkyl-sulphoxide, hydroxy and primary, secondary and tertiary amino, in which all alkyl groups contain up to 20 carbon atoms and all aryl groups are mono- or bi-homo- or hetero-cyclic.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
A phthalocyanine compound according to claim 1 wherein each of the eight peripheral carbon atoms in the 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 16 positions of the phthalocyanine nucleus is linked by a sulphur, selenium, tellurium or nitrogen atom to a carbon atom of the organic radical.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A phthalocyanine compound according to claim 2 wherein the remaining peripheral carbon atoms of the phthalocyanine nucleus are unsubstituted.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A phthalocyanine compound according to claim 1 or claim 2 wherein each of from one to eight of the remaining peripheral carbon atoms of the phthalocyanine nucleus is linked by a sulphur, selenium, tellurium or nitrogen atom to a carbon atom of the organic radical.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
A phthalocyanine compound according to any one of claims 2 and 1 wherein each of fifteen or sixteen of the peripheral carbon atoms of the phthalocyanine nucleus is linked by a sulphur, selenium, tellurium or nitrogen atom to a carbon atom of the organic radical.
