Patent ID: 7217447

Claim:
An ink-jet recording sheet comprising a color material accepting layer disposed on a substrate, the color material accepting layer containing a compound represented by the following general formula (I): wherein, in the general formula (I), R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group, —COR 3 , —COOR 4 , —SO 2 —R 5 , or —N(R 6 )R 7 ; R 3 and R 5 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group, or —N(R 8 )R 9 ; R 4 represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or a heterocyclic group; R 6 through R 9 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, an acyl group, an alkoxy carbonyl group, an aryloxy carbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, an alkyl sulfonyl group, an aryl sulfonyl group, or a sulfamoyl group; R 1 and R 2 may link with each other so as to form a ring; R 10 through R 14 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group, —COR 31 , —COOR 32 , or —N(R 33 )R 34 ; R 31 represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group or —N(R 8 )R 9 ; R 32 represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or a heterocyclic group, and R 33 and R 34 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, an acyl group, an alkoxy carbonyl group, an aryloxy carbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, an alkyl sulfonyl group, an aryl sulfonyl group, or a sulfamoyl group, wherein the color material accepting layer is formed by at least the step of homogeneously coating a color material accepting layer coating solution containing a compound represented by general formula (I).
