<p>A Photographic recording material is described which employs a novel, nondiffusible compound capable of releasing at least one diffusible cyan dye moiety comprising a 6-heterocyclylazo-3-pyridinol compound having the structural formula: <CHEM> wherein: (a) Y represents the atoms necessary to complete a 5- or 6-membered aromatic heterocyclic fused ring; (b) CAR represents a ballasted carrier moiety capable of releasing the diffusible cyan dye moiety as a function of development of a silver halide emulsion layer under alkaline conditions, (c) R represents a hydroxy group, a salt thereof, or a hydrolyzable precursor thereof, or CAR which is linked to the dye moiety through an oxygen atom thereon; and (d) n is 0, 1 or 2, with the proviso that when n is 0, then R is CAR which is linked to the dye moiety through an oxygen atom thereon.</p> |
