- B represents a structure represented by one of formulae (IV)-A-.alpha., (IV)-A-.beta., (IV)-.beta.-.alpha., (IV)-B-.beta., IV-A-.gamma. and (IV)-A-.delta.: ##STR95## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic group, a silyl group or a phosphino group; and
- R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.2' each represents a hydrogen atom or a non-metal substituent group;
- L represents a divalent linking group represented by one of formulae (L-I), (L-II), (L-III), (L-IV), (L-V), (L-VI) and (L-VII): ##STR96## wherein Ra, Rb, Ra' and Rb' each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, a halogen atom, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an acylamino group or an acyloxy group;
- c and d each represents a positive integer; and
- R.sup.81 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group;
- R.sup.67 represents an OH group or ##STR97## wherein R.sup.69 and R.sup.70 each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group;
- R.sup.76, R.sup.77 and R.sup.78 each represents a hydrogen atom or a non-metal substituent group;
- in formula (XXVI)-A and (XXVII)-A, R.sup.35' represents a divalent structure of a non-metal substituent group, from which one hydrogen atom has been eliminated; R.sup.68' represents a divalent structure of an alkyl group or an aryl group, from which one hydrogen atom has been eliminated; Y.sup.5a represents a divalent structure of an aryl group or a heteryl group, from which one hydrogen atom has been eliminated; and Zg, Zh and Zi each represents --N.dbd. or --C(R.sup.71).dbd., wherein R.sup.71 represents a hydrogen atom or a non-metallic atomic group;
- in formula (XXXII)-A, R.sup.72' represents a divalent structure of an alkyl group or an aryl group, from which one hydrogen atom has been eliminated; R.sup.73' represents a divalent structure of a non-metal substituent group, from which one hydrogen has been eliminated; and Y.sup.5a represents a divalent structure of an aryl group or a heteryl group, from which one hydrogen atom has been eliminated; and
- in formula (XXXIII)-A, R.sup.74' and R.sup.75' each represents a divalent structure of a non-metal substituent group, from which one hydrogen atom has been eliminated; and Y.sup.5a represents a divalent structure of an aryl group or a heteryl group, from which one hydrogen has been eliminated.
- 2. The thermal transfer dye donating material of claim 1, wherein B is represented by formula (IV)-B-.alpha..
- 3. The thermal transfer dye donating material of claim 1, wherein said thermo-mobile dye is an azo dye represented by formula (XXVII)-A.
