A thermal recording material having good image storability and good lightfastness. The recording material does not have background fogging, even when exposed to light in a broad wavelength range or exposed to high-temperature surroundings. The recording material has a thermal recording layer provided on a support, and the thermal recording layer contains a compound of general formula (1), a compound of general formula (2), and a compound of general formula (3).

Thermal recording material

Diazonium salt and heat-sensitive recording material

A heat-sensitive recording material having a support and a heat-sensitive recording layer provided thereon. The heat-sensitive recording layer contains a diazonium salt compound and a coupler which reacts with the diazonium salt compound upon heating to form a color. The heat-sensitive recording layer contains a compound of the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R represents a member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, and an aryl group; X represents a member selected from the group consisting of --COOR.sup.1, --OCOR.sup.--1, --CONR.sup.1 R.sup.2, and --NR.sup.2 COR.sup.1 ; R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group or an aryl group, R.sup.2 represents a member selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, and an aryl group; n represents an integer from 1 to 5.

Heat-sensitive recording material

A novel pyrazolone dye represented by the following formula (I), which can be effectively used as a filter dye, an irradiation inhibiting dye, an antihalation dye or the like in a photographic light-sensitive material: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each represents --COOR or ##STR2## R and R' each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group or may combine with each other to form a 5- or 6-membered ring; Q.sub.1 and Q.sub.2 each represents an aryl group; X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 each represents a linkage group; Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 each represents a sulfo group or a carboxyl group; L.sub.1, L.sub.2 and L.sub.3 each represents a methine group; L.sub.4 and L.sub.5 each represents an alkylene group; m.sub.1 and m.sub.2 each represents 1 or 2; n represents 0, 1 or 2; p.sub.1 and p.sub.2 each represents 0 or 1; q.sub.1 and q.sub.2 each represent 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; and s.sub.1 and s.sub.2 each represents 1 or 2.
