Abstract

Copper (II) salts were used as metallizing agents in the synthesis of new direct dyes for cotton. In this regard, direct dyes possessing ortho-propoxy, ortho′-hydroxy-substituted systems formed the corresponding dye-metal complexes. The complexes were characterized by neutron activation and spectrometric analyses and evaluated on cotton for color fastness.
