Abstract
The present disclosure relates to dispersions of silver (carboxylate-n-alkyl thiolate). The carboxylates are typically silver salts of long chain fatty acids and the n-alkyl thiolate is preferably 1-dodecanethiol. These silver (carboxylate-n-alkyl thiolate) particles can be used to formulate imaging forming compositions that are useful in aqueous thermographic or photothermographic imaging elements.
