Abstract
Abstract A heat-sensitive recording material comprising a support having thereon a recording layer containing an electron-donating colorless dye and an electron-accepting compound, wherein the electron-accepting compound is selected from salicylic acid derivatives having an acyl group, a substituted amino group, an aryloxymethyl group, an alkoxy group or an aryloxy group, or metal salts thereof, and hydroxynaphthoic acid derivatives having an alkyloxy group or metal salts thereof, the recording layer further containing a metal compound in an amount of from about 0.05 to about 10 mols per mol of the electron-accepting compound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A heat-sensitive recording material comprising a support having thereon a recording layer containing an electron-donating colorless dye and an electron-accepting compound, wherein said electron-accepting compound is a salicylic acid derivative having an alkoxy group or an aryloxy group represented by formula (VII): ##STR19## wherein R 5 represents an alkyl group having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms or a group represented by formula --(C p H 2p --O) q --Ar wherein Ar is a phenyl group, a phenyl group substituted with a 1-2 carbon alkoxy group or a phenyl group substituted with a 1-2 carbon alkyl group, p represents an integer of from 2 to 4 and q represents an integer of 1; and X 4 represents a hydrogen atom, said salicylic acid derivative containing at least 13 total carbon atoms and said recording layer further containing a zinc compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A heat-sensitive recording material comprising a support having thereon a recording layer containing an electron-donating colorless dye and an electron-accepting compound, wherein said electron-accepting compound is a salicylic acid derivative having an alkoxy group or an aryloxy group represented by formula (VII): ##STR19## wherein R 5 represents an alkyl group having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms or a group represented by formula --(C p H 2p --O) q --Ar wherein Ar is a phenyl group, a phenyl group substituted with a 1-2 carbon alkoxy group or a phenyl group substituted with a 1-2 carbon alkyl group, p represents an integer of from 2 to 4 and q represents an integer of 1; and X 4 represents a hydrogen atom, said salicylic acid derivative containing at least 13 total carbon atoms and said recording layer further containing a zinc compound.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A heat-sensitive material as claim 1, wherein said zinc compound is present in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 10 mols per mol of said electron-accepting compound.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A heat-sensitive recording material as in claim 1, wherein said zinc compound is selected from oxides, hydroxides, aluminates, cyanides, hexacyanoferrates, sulfides, carbonates, phosphates, silicates, halides, halogen complex salts, sulfates, and nitrates of zinc.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
