Abstract

The present invention provides novel indolylazaphthalides represented by formula (I) described below. The indolylazaphthalides are useful as electron donative colorless dyes for preparing recording materials. Recording materials containing the novel indolylazaphthalides of formula (I) as electron donative colorless dyes provide images having blue to cyan colors at an excellent density, while suppressing light coloration in non-image areas. ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a divalent linkage group such as an alkylene group, cycloalkylene group, aralkylene group, or a phenylene group, which linkage group is linked to a bimolecular indolylazaphthalide compound to form a bis-type structure.
