Optical recording medium

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a high-sensitivity optical recording medium having high reflectivity of a recording layer, less crystallization and thermal stability by providing a recording layer contg. an optically stabilizing cyanine dye consisting of a conjugate of a specific cyanine dye cation and quencher anion on a substrate. CONSTITUTION:The optically stabilizing cyanine dye expressed by the formula I [Z, Z' are respectively an atom group necessary for completing a (substd.) indolenine ring, R1, R1' are (substd.) alkyl, (substd.) aryl or alkenyl, L is a polymethine connecting group for forming a cyanine dye, Q<-> is a quencher anion] is deposited directly or if necessary with a thermoplastic resin as a binder on a transparent substrate, thereby forming an optical recording layer. Q<-> is preferably the chelate compd. anion expressed by the formula II (R<1>-R<4> are H, alkyl such as CH3, etc., halogen such as Cl, etc., amino such as N(CH3)2, etc., M is a transition metal such as Ni, Co, Cu, etc.). The optical recording medium which decreases considerably optical deterioration owing to repeated use and permits erasing and rewriting is thus obtd.
