IR photography

Even though IR photography proved too insensitive for recording molecular components that form during the degradation process, the... 

IR astronomy uses the 1 /xm-1 mm part of the IR band to study celestial objects by their IR emissions. IR detectors are used in night vision systems, intruder alarm systems, weather forecasting, and missile guidance systems. IR photography uses multilayered color film, with an IR sensitive emulsion in the wavelengths between 700 and 900 nm, for medical and forensic applications and for aerial surveying. 

A modern variation on the rapid scan spectrometer, which is under development, uses a laser-generated plasma as a high intensity broad-band IR source (65). This method has been used to probe the vc—o absorption of W(CO)6. Another technique TRISP (time-resolved IR spectral photography), which involves up-conversion of IR radiation to the visible, has also been used to probe transients (66). This method has the enormous advantage that efficient phototubes and photodiodes can be used as detectors. However, it is a technically challenging procedure with limitations on the frequency range which depend on the optical material used as an up-converter. 

Such dyes found early application as sensitizers in photography and many thousands of related structures have been made. Suitable dyes when added to the photographic emulsion extend the sensitivity of the silver halide from the blue and UV region towards the green, red and near IR. The sensitivity of the dyes can be balanced throughout the visible spectrum to give panchromatic emulsions.

Dithiolene complexes, and more specifically the nickel derivatives, are involved in materials used for optical data storage, such as compact disc or laser disc read-only memory (CD- or LD-ROM), and also in copiers or photography related devices. In the latter case, it is the IR-absorbing property that is exploited. Some of these compounds can be found in reviews by Mueller-Westerhoff et al. (353, 354). Recent patents are given as examples in references (458—481). In the field of optical storage, short reviews were published in 1988 (482) and 1990 (362, 483). Here, the dithiolene complexes act as inhibitors of the laser-induced fading of the colored thin layers of the optical discs. They also act as an antioxidant and increase the photostability of the cyanine dyes that constitute the recording layer. Contrary to what was observed for the two... 

On occasions traces of Ir metal remained with the Irp4 (as revealed by X-ray powder photography and the magnetic behaviour). It was then necessary to mix the material with IrFs and repeat the above procedure.
