Benefits of technology

[0013] Under the above circumstances, the present inventors have conducted investigation of the structure of phthalocyanine compounds and their synthesis and found that novel metallocenyl phthalocyanine compounds / mixtures obtained on connecting phthalocyanine with metallocene through a linker containing one carbon atom through a Friedel-Crafts reaction exhibit excellent recording sensitivity and small jitter, and are thus suitable for use in high-speed rewritable recording media. Moreover, these novel metallocenyl phthalocyanine compounds / mixtures can be prepared with a simple process so that their production cost can be moderate. Especially, because the linker connecting phthalocyanine with metallocene contains only one carbon atom, the solubility in non-polar solvents is satisfactory, so resolving the problems of aggregation and precipitation.

Problems solved by technology

When a CD-R operates at a large writing speed, the jitter value at short pits or lands can be decreased with a relatively thin recording layer, but this thin layer requires an increased writing power at a given writing speed, which once again limits the maximum achievable writing speed at a given laser point.
Recording materials are, however, unable to meet fully the increased requirements at great writing speeds.
A thin layer requires, undesirably, an increased writing power at a given writing speed, which once again limits the maximum achievable writing speed at a given laser point.
The disadvantages of phthalocyanine are (1) lack of light sensitivity, (2) poor solubility, (3) a high temperature required for recording, and (4) a small reflectivity.
Although the phthalocyanines disclosed in this patent can decrease the decomposition temperature, and possess excellent writing decomposability, increased solubility in the solvent and increased reflectivity, these phthalocyanines also result in an increased Block Error Rate (BLER) when a greater writing speed is required; thus its writing property is also diminished.
EP-A 600427 disclosed a dye for a recording layer in an optical recording medium that is based on phthalocyanines with a few additives, for example, a combustion aid such as ferrocenyl derivatives, or an antiknocking agent to improve the heat decomposability and recording property, but it is still unsatisfactory for recycling because of the solubility difference between the phthalocyanines and the additives.
WO 97 / 23354 disclosed a method to solve the problem of the disparate solubility by binding the metallocenyl and the phthalocyanines, but its recording property is still unsatisfactory.
Currently, only altering the specificity of the phthalocyanine structures themselves can not achieve a great sensitivity ratio (C / N, carrier to noise), optimal recording power and recording properties (such as small jitter) required in recording media.
Also, from relevant papers and patent publications, it is pointed out that the compound obtained on bonding phthalocyanines and metallocene can greatly improve its sensitivity and recording properties when it is used as a dye in a recording layer for recording media, but the preparation of metallocenyl phthalocyanines requires multiple steps so that its cost of production becomes increased.
