Auxochrome

Japanese: auxochrome
Auxochrome

…A concept proposed by Otto Nikolaus Witt (1853-1915) in 1876 regarding aromatic chemistry, especially the color development of dyes. He said that for an organic compound to have color, first, it needs a chromophore, which is an atomic group containing an unsaturated bond in the molecule, and second, when a chromophore is bound to an aromatic compound, an auxochrome is further bound to the chromogen, which becomes a deep-colored dye that can be dyed into fibers. The phenomenon of dyeing is completely separate from color development, so it should be considered separately, but Witt's concept of chromophore and auxochrome is still very useful today for understanding the relationship between the chemical structure of pigments and color. …

…芳香族化学,とくに染料の発色に関し,1876年にウィットOtto Nikolaus Witt(1853‐1915)が提唱した概念。彼は有機化合物が色をもつためには,第1に,分子内に不飽和結合を含む原子団である発色団が必要で,第2に,発色団が芳香族化合物に結合した色原体chromogenにさらに助色団auxochromeが結合して深い色の染料となり繊維に染着することができるとした。染着の現象は発色とはまったく別なので切り離して考えるべきだが,ウィットの発色団および助色団の概念は色素の化学構造と色の関係を知るうえに今日でも非常に便利である。…
