A magenta colored metallochromic ferrous-bathophenanthroline chelate (Fe·Batho
3) was formed in. a polymer matrix containing ferric acetylacetonate (Fe·AA
3) and bathophenanthroline (4, 7-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline) by an electron bombardment. The magenta color was deepened by a heat treatment of ter the bombardment. The chelation was occured selectively between bathophenanthroline and ferrous ionic compound in an acidic condition. Thus the coloration was mainly due to the reduction of Fe·AA
3 and it was active in the matrices, such as PVC and one containing polyhaloganated additive liberating acidic components by the bombardment. The post-heating seemed to be effecitive to promote the chelation.
This coloring process is suitable for a non-photosensitive negative type electron beam recording (EBR) medium. The recorded signal is expressed with the metallochromic component. And the coloration is occured in the lower charge density region of the bombardment comparing with the other coloring process. The high sensitivity to electron is due to the fact that the rate determining step of the coloration is a simple reduction in Fe·AA
3 and the liberated component from matrix promotes the chelation followed the reduction
