Abstract
Abstract A thermal transfer dye donating material, comprising a color material layer formed on a support, said color material layer containing a dye represented by the general formula (I) below: ##STR1## wherein Q 1 is an atomic group having at least one nitrogen atom and forming a five- to seven-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycle together with the carbon atoms to be bonded; R 1 is an acyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an aminocarbonyl group, or a sulfonyl group; R 2 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; R 3 to R 7 are independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a halogen atom; X 1 and X 2 are independently an alkylene group; Y 1 is an alkoxy group, a halogen atom, an acylamino group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an alkoxycarbonyloxy group, a cyano group, an alkoxycarbonylamino group, an aminocarbonylamino group, a carbamoyl group, an acyloxy group, an acyl group or a hydroxy group; Y 2 is a hydrogen atom or groups defined above as Y 1 .
