Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
37 words
A water-soluble, ferrous-chelate, infrared absorptive dye having the structure: ##STR14## wherein n is 1 to 3; Z represents the atoms to complete a nitrogen containing, aromatic heterocyclic group, and R represents at least one water solubilizing group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
37 words
A water-soluble, ferrous-chelate, infrared absorptive dye having the structure: ##STR14## wherein n is 1 to 3; Z represents the atoms to complete a nitrogen containing, aromatic heterocyclic group, and R represents at least one water solubilizing group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A dye of claim 1 wherein Z completes a heterocyclic group selected from the group consisting of pyridyl, pyrazyl, benzothiazolyl and benzodiazolyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
A dye of claim 1, wherein Z completes a benzodiazolyl group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A dye of any one of claims 1 through 3 wherein n is 1 and R is sulfo, carboxy, or a group containing a terminal sulfo or carboxy group.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
11 words
A dye of claim 4 wherein R is a carboxy group.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A dye of any one of claims 1 through 5 wherein the heterocyclic group completed by Z contains an innocuous substituent selected from halogen, lower alkoxy and lower alkyl.
