Disclosed are compounds of formula I, ##STR1## in which either R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be the same or different, each signifies a hydrogen atom, a chlorine or fluorine atom, an alkyl radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxy radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a cyano group, a group --SO.sub.3 M, an unsubstituted phenyl radical or a phenyl radical substituted by up to 2 substituents selected from chlorine, fluorine, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the group --SO.sub.3 M, with the proviso that only one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 signifies an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl radical

1,3-Diaryl-2-pyrazoline derivatives

Disclosed are anionic optical brightening agents, such agents being 1,3-diphenyl pyrazolines characterized by having, in the 4- or 5-position of the pyrazoline ring, a sulphoalkyl substituent, their production and use.

1,3-Diphenyl-4 or 5-sulphoalkyl pyrazolines

Disclosed are compounds of formula I, ##STR1## in which either R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be the same or different, each signifies a hydrogen atom, a chlorine or fluorine atom, an alkyl radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxy radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a cyano group, a group --SO.sub.3 M, an unsubstituted phenyl radical or a phenyl radical substituted by up to 2 substituents selected from chlorine, fluorine, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the group --SO.sub.3 M, with the proviso that only one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 signifies an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl radical, Or two of

1,3-Diphenyl pyrazolines

The invention relates to optical brightening agents.
