THERMALLY RESPONSIVE COBALT (III) COMPLEX IMAGING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING AN AMPLIFIER, AN IMAGE-FORMER AND FIRST AND SECOND DESTABILIZER COMPOUNDS

摘要

AbstractA dye-forming or imaging composition, element andmethod are disclosed, wherein a cobalt (III) complex contain-ing releasable ligands is converted to cobalt (II) and theligands by heating in the presence of a first destabilizercompound. The temperature at which the conversion reactionis initiated is unexpectedly lowered by the addition of asecond, different destabilizer compound.
