Abstract
A dye useful for absorbing infrared radiation in photographic elements, having the structure: ##STR1## is disclosed. In this formula, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represents sulfoalkyl, carboxyalkyl, or sulfatoalkyl, from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, having 2 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain linking the nitrogen atom of each Z ring and the sulfo or sulfato group, and 1 carbon atom in the alkyl chain linking the nitrogen atom of each Z ring and the carboxy group. PA1 R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 are each hydrogen or together represent the atoms necessary to complete a 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic ring, and R.sub.4 represents hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogen, cyano, or ##STR2## where R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 each independently represents alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or aryl or together represent the non-metallic atoms necessary to form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring. PA1 X.sup..sym. represents a cation. PA1 Z.sub.1 and Z.sub.2 each independently represent the atoms needed to complete an indole, naphthindole or benzindole nucleus.
