Abstract

There are disclosed certain pyrylium salts and a method of making them. The dyes are useful both medicinally in photodynamic therapy and in photoconductive compositions, photoresist and lithographic compositions or optical recording discs. The salts are mixed seleno- or telluropyrylium compounds having a singlet oxygen quantum efficiency of at least 0.005 when exposed as described at wavelengths between about 650 and 1000 nanometers, and a Lewis base anion.
