Claims
- 1. A data storage media comprising at least a cyanine-tetracyanoquinodimethane (cyanine-TCNQ) complex dye, the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye comprising a TCNQ molecule chemically bonded to a cyanine molecule having a structural formula (I) as follows:
- 2. The data storage media of claim 1, wherein in said cyanine TCNQ dye (I), n represents an integer of 0, 1, 2, and 3, R1 is —CH2C6H4COOCH3, R2 is linear alkyl group (carbon number is Cl˜C18), and m represents an integer of 1 or 2.
- 3. The data storage media of claim 1, wherein in said cyanine TCNQ dye (I), n represents an integer of 0, 1, 2, and 3, R1 and R2 are both of —CH2C6H4COOCH3, and m represents an integer of 1 or 2.
- 4. The data storage media of claim 1, wherein said cyanine-TCNQ dye (I) includes a cyanine-TCNQ dye (II), wherein in said cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (II), n=1, R1 is —CH2C6H4COOCH3, R2 is linear butyl group.
- 5. The data storage media of claim 1, wherein said cyanine-TCNQ dye (I) includes a cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (III), wherein in said cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (III), n=1, R1 and R2 are both of —CH2C6H4COOCH3.
- 6. The data storage media of claim 1, wherein said cyanine-TCNQ dye (I) includes a cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (IV), wherein in said cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (IV), n=2, R1 and R2 are both of —CH2C6H4COOCH3.
- 7. The data storage media of claim 1, wherein said cyanine-TCNQ dye (I) is one selected from a group consisting of the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (II), the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (III) and the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (IV).
- 8. The data storage media of claim 1, wherein said cyanine-TCNQ dye (I) includes a mixture including the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (II) and the the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (III), or the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (II) and the the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (IV), or the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (II) and the the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (III), or the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (II), the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (III) and the cyanine-TCNQ complex dye (IV).
