A new class of light-fast oxonol dyes were prepared. These dyes were spin-coated onto glass plates using 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propanol as a solvent to form noncrystalline-solid-dye films. They were colored, transparent, uniform, but dark when placed between crossed polarizers. The change of the normalized absorbance of dye films measured at their respective absorption maxima. The oxidative quenching mechanism is responsible for the light-fastness of the oxonol salts. The heavy-metal free and organic recording dyes with enhanced light-resistance will expand the range of potential applications for oxonol dyes.
