Abstract
The object of the present invention is to provide organic dye compounds which exert satisfactory optical absorption properties and thermal resistance when used in high density optical recording media. The above object is solved by specific trimethine cyanine dyes, light absorbents and optical recording media which comprise the cyanine dyes, and preparations for the cyanine dyes comprising either reacting a benzoindolium compound having a compatible leaving group with a pyrazinoimidazolium compound having a reactive methyl group; or reacting a benzoindolium compound having a reactive methyl group with a pyrazinoimidazolium compound having a compatible leaving group.
