Abstract

Polyarylalkane oligomer compositions consisting essentially of a mixture of isomers of xylyl-xylene and of higher homologues and a mixture of isomers of bis(dimethylphenyl)xylylene and of higher homologues; the method of making such compositions by first reacting toluene, xylene, or a mixture of toluene and xylene with chlorine in the presence of a radical generator, removing the unreacted toluene, and then subjecting the reaction product to the action of an inorganic halide or inorganic acid in the presence of xylene, and microcapsules containing color-forming material wherein the compositions are used as solvents for the color-forming material.
