Abstract:
A lubricant for a magnetic recording medium comprising:a perfluoropolyether compound;0. 1 wt % to 50 wt % of at least one compound selected from the group represented by following formulae (1) and (2); and0.000001 wt % to 10 wt % of at least one compound selected from the group having skeletons represented by following formulae (3)-(10): ##STR6## where M denotes one metal ion or two hydrogen ions, and A.sup.1 -A.sup.4 each denotes independently of the others a condensed polycyclic compound residual group containing either cyclic ketone or cyclic secondary amine in which a carbonyl group or an imino group is substituted for at least one methine carbon atom contained in a condensed polycyclic compound residual group of one or more benzene rings and a benzene ring, naphthalene ring, acenaphthylene ring, fluorene ring, phenalene ring, anthracene ring, fluoranthene ring, acephenanthrylene ring, triphenine ring, pyrene ring, chrysene ring, naphthacene ring, pleiadene ring, picene ring, perillene ring, pentaphene ring, pentacene ring, hexene ring, chlonene ring or heptacene ring or a compound residual group thereof, or each denotes independently of the others a complex cyclic compound residual group in which the methine carbon atom of the condensed cyclic compound residual group is replaced with one or more nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms or sulfur atoms of the same or different kinds; the hydrogen atoms of the condensed polycyclic compound residual group or those of the heterocyclic compound residual group may be replaced with an alkyl group or an aryl group; the alkyl group or the aryl group may include a substituent, and the hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms; ##STR7## where R.sup.1 -R.sup.12 each denotes one of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl atom, and an aryl atom; an alkyl group or an aryl group may contain a substituent, and the hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms; ##STR8## where Z denotes a nitrogen atom or a phosphor atom, and R.sup.1 denotes a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group; the alkyl group or the aryl group may contain a substituent, and hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms; R.sup.2 denotes an alkyl group or an aryl group which may contain a substituent; hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms;Z.tbd.R Formula (4)where Z denotes a nitrogen atom or a phosphor atom; and R denotes an alkyl group or an aryl group; the alkyl group or the aryl group may contain a substituent, and hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms; ##STR9## where Zs each denotes a nitrogen atom or a phosphor atom independently of the other, and R.sup.1 -R.sup.4 each denotes a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group independently of the others; the alkyl group or the aryl group may contain a substituent, and hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms; ##STR10## where Zs each denote a nitrogen atom or a phosphor atom independently of the other, and R.sup.1 -R.sup.5 each denotes an alkyl group or an aryl group independently of the others; R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 may each be a hydrogen atom; the alkyl group or the aryl group may each contain a substituent, and hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms;R.sup.1 --Z--R.sup.2 Formula ( 7)where Z denotes an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each denotes a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group independently of the other; the alkyl group or the aryl group may contain a substituent, and hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms;Z.dbd.R Formula (8)where Z denotes an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, and R denotes an alkyl group or an aryl group; the alkyl group or the aryl group may contain a substituent, and hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms; andR.sup.1 --Z--Z--R.sup.2 Formula ( 9)where Zs each denotes an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom independently of the other, and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each denotes an alkyl group or an aryl group independently of the other; the alkyl group or the aryl group may contain a substituent, and hydrogen atoms may be partly or entirely replaced with fluorine atoms.
