Abstract
A photothermographic element comprising a support bearing a photothermographic medium, the medium comprising a light sensitive silver halide in reactive association with a silver salt of an organic acid and a color generating reducing agent which is a leuco compound which is oxidisable by silver ions into a colored dye of the general formula: ##STR1## in which: n=0, 1 or 2, PA1 R.sup.1 represents H, CN, lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, aryl or COOR.sup.6 in which R.sup.6 is lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms or aryl, PA1 R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently represent CN, NO.sub.2, COOR.sup.6, SO.sub.2 R.sup.6, CONHR.sup.6 in which R.sup.6 is as defined above or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 together represent the necessary atoms to form a 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring having ring atoms selected from C, N, O and S atoms, which carbocyclic or heterocyclic rings possess at least one conjugated electron withdrawing substituent, PA1 R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 independently represent H, CN or lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms or together represent the necessary atoms to complete a 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic ring, and PA1 Ar represents: PA2 (a) a thienyl group which may be substitut…
