This invention relates to a novel class of coordination compounds, their synthesis and use. The novel compounds are useful for coloring aluminum. More particularly the vnovel compounds ofthis invention are-bis[ 3-(3-alkoxylH-isoindol-l-imino)-1H-isoindol-1-irninato] nickel II) having the formula shown in theaccompanying drawing where R is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbons, suitably methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, n-amyl, sec. amyl and neohexyl.
I 'Dyeings possessing some acceptable'light-fastness are achieved on anodized aluminum when the aluminum is properly anodized and the surface sealed after dyeing by treating it with boiling water or steam. Heretofore, anodized aluminum has usually been dyed with various dyes in aqueous or non-aqueous solution. In aqueous dyeing, the depth of shade is often limited, and the colored alminum is not sufficiently light-fast to make it useful for exterior applications under weathering conditions. Aqueous dyeing procedures require extended periods of dyeing to obtain deep penetration into the oxide coating on the aluminum and it is generally necessary to follow the initial dyeing'by treatment at higher temperatures or otherwise to seal the coating and stop the dye absorption.
Certain phthalocyanines have been applied to anodized aluminum to color it, but it is highly desirable to provide an improvedprocess for coloring aluminum to obtain permanently pigmented aluminum.
One object of the present invention is to synthesize the novel nickel complexes defined above.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved process for coloring anodized aluminum with a strongly adherent coatinghaving excellent fastness to light. Other objects appear hereinafter.
The objects of this invention are accomplished by the 7 improved process of the present invention for coloring anodized -aluminum' which comprises synthesizing the novel nickel compounds and applying them to the aluminum to. be colored. By means of thepresent invention it is now possible to color aluminum to form a colored surface on the metal which is remarkably adherent, stable and light fast. Compared to the colored aluminum or prior art, processes, the. process of this invention is vastly superior. The aluminum coloring process of this invention is devoid of the numerous problems associated with the prior art procedures. The colored anodized aluminum displays a light fastness of at least 1000 Fade-O- Meter hours with no change in intensity. Previously, a light fastness of 500 Fade-O-Meter hours was considered satisfactory. The nickel compounds of this invention are also useful as colorants for paper, textiles and other metals, particularly aluminum alloys which are anodized by aluminum anodizing processes.
The novel compounds of this invention are prepared by the reaction of nickel (II) salts and 1,3-diiminoisoindoline, preferably in the stoichiometric ratio of about 4 grams moles of the diiminoisoindoline to 1 gram mole of nickel (II) salt. This ratio can vary considerably, for example, from 1:1 to 8:1. Excess reactant, however, remains to be separated from the desired product. The reaction is carried out in a large excess of an aliphatic alcohol having the formula ROH, where R has the same meaning as defined above, suitably at the reflux temperature of the alcohol. The molar ratio of alcohol to 1,3- diiminoisoindoline is appropriately from about 5:1 to
30:1. The smaller ratios of alcohol advantageously permit cooling the reaction mixture and recovery of the precipitated product directly without evaporating excess alcohol. The reaction is rapid and is substantially completed usually in 10 minutes. The reaction time may vary from about 5 to 60 minutes or longer. The product is suitably recovered directly by cooling the reaction mixture or by evaporation of the excess alcohol and extraction of the residue to dissolve the nickel compound and to leave by-product ammonium chloride as an insoluble residue. Suitable extractants include heptane, octane, petroleum ether, chloroform, toluene, xylene, o-dichlorobenzene and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. The extractant is removed by vacuum evaporation and the nickel product is suitably recrystallized, for example, from acetone or alcohol.
The nickel salt used in the preparation of the novel compounds of this invention is suitably introduced in the form of any of various salts, for example, nickel (II) chloride, oxide, nitrate, sulfate or acetate. The anhydrous salts are preferred.
For the aluminum-coloring process of this invention, the novel nickel compounds of this invention are dissolved in a suitable solvent including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and hal'ohydrocarbons having boiling points at atmospheric pressure above about C. Examples include heptane, octane, petroleum ether, kerosene, Nujol, toluene, xylene, o-dichlorobenzene and 1,2,4- trichlorobenzene. Nujol is particularly advantageous and is preferred for its high flash point and boiling point. A concentration of the nickel compound of from 0.1 to 1.0% is suitable. On heating the anodized aluminum to be colored in contact with the solution of the novel nickel compound at temperatures from 100 to 150 C., the aluminum gradually becomes colored. The color deepens with time but reaches a maximum intensity usually in about 10 minutes. Longer contact of the aluminum with the solution produces no deeper coloration.
The aluminum coloring process of the present invention is amenable to continuous operation by various modifications. Loose coils of anodized aluminum sheet are appropriately immersed in a container, for example, a degreasing tank containing the colorant mixture, continuously or intermittently replenished, until the metal is sufficiently coated. The finished coil is removed and replaced by a fresh coil of anodized aluminum. Alternatively a solution of the colorant is sprayed on a moving strip of metal which passes through a suitably heated zone with a holding time therein suflicient to produce a coating of the desired depth of color.
EXAMPLE I A mixture of 2.6 g. (0.02 mole) of anhydrous nickel (II) chloride and 625 ml. of n-butyl alcohol was heated to reflux temperature with stirring. To the suspension was added rapidly a solution of 11.7 g. (0.08 mole) of 1,3-diiminoisoindoline in 125 ml. of boiling butanol. The mixture was refluxed and stirred for 10 minutes. The dark red mixture was filtered hot and the filtrate was vacuum evaporated to remove the butanol. The red solid residue was extracted with hot toluene and filtered. Toluene was removed from the filtrate by vacuum evaporation and the red solid residue was crystallized from acetone. The yield of bis[3 (3 n butoxy 1H- isoindol 1 imino) 1H isoindol 1 iminato] nickel (II) was 9.6 g. or 67% of theoretical.

(0.1 mole) of anhydrous nickel (II) chloride and 300 ml. of n-amyl alcohol was refluxed and a solution of 5.8 g. (0.04 mole) of 1,3 diiminoisoindoline in 100 ml. of boiling amyl alcohol was added rapidly. The mixture was refluxed and stirred for minutes and the bis[3 (3 n amyloxy 1H isoindol- 1 imino) 1H isoindol 1 iminato] nickel (II) compound was isolated by the method described in Example I. Yield 6.1 g. or 85% of theoretical.

EXAMPLE IV The product of Example III was applied to anodized aluminum as described in Example II With essentially the same results.
EXAMPLE V The procedure of Example I was repeated using 5.4 g. (0.03 mole) of anhydrous nickel (II) acetate and 11.7 g. (0.08 mole) of 1,3-diiminoisoindoline to produce the same bis[3 (3 n butoxy 1H isoindol 1 imino)- 1H isoindol l iminato] nickel (II) compound in a yield of 60% based on the isoindoline.
EXAMPLE VI A slurry of 6 g. (0.46 mole) of anhydrous nickel (II) chloride in 1500 ml. of n-butanol was brought to reflux and a hot solution of 232 g. (1.60 moles) of 1,3-diiminoisoindoline in 2250 ml, of n-butanol was added quickly with stirring. The resulting red solution was held at reflux and stirred vigorously for 20 minutes. The solution was filtered hot and then cooled in a refrigerator. The bis[3 (3 n butoxy 1H isoindol 1 imino)- lH isoindol 1 iminato] nickel (II) which precipitated was removed by filtration and amounted to 143 g. or 50% of the theoretical yield. The remaining solution was evaporated to dryness and the red solid residue was dissolved in hot chloroform and filtered to remove ammonium chloride. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The residue was washed with cold methanol and recrystallized from acetone. An additional 60 grams of product was obtained. The total yield was 71% of theoretical.
