Examples of such cations are alkali metal cations and cations of the ammonium type including unsubstituted and substituted ammonium cations e.g., lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium, mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-methylammonium, triethylammonium and mono-, di- and tri-ethanolammonium.

The preferred cations are the alkali metal cations and ammonium, with sodium being the most preferred.

The present invention further provides a process for the preparation of compounds of formula I comprising reacting the following components:

diazotized amino-monoazo compounds of formula II,

coupling components of formula III, ##STR19## in which S.sub.1 is hydrogen or a conventional protecting group which is to be split off before any condensation reaction,

triazine compounds of formula IV, ##STR20## in which Hal is halogen,

optionally a base or compounds of formula H--Y.sub.a, in which Y.sub.a has one of the significances of Y with the exception of --OH and halogen, and/or

a corresponding diamine or diamine/acid dichloride to introduce the bridge member ##STR21## which components must be present in the corresponding stoichiometric molar ratio to obtain a compound of formula I by coupling and condensing in any desired order.

Diazotization and coupling reactions may be effected in conventional manner. Preferably, coupling is carried out at pH 4-7, especially 5-6, and at temperatures of 0.degree.-5.degree. C.

The replacement of the halogen atoms in a compound of formula IV by separate condensation steps may be effected in conventional manner. The optional replacement of the third halogen atom with another group Y normally is carried out at the preferred temperature range from 70.degree. to 100.degree. C., especially from 85.degree. to 95.degree. C., and at the preferred pH range from 7 to 10, especially at pH 8 to 9.

Compounds of formula I which have identical chromophores linked through a bridge member B which is a radical of formula (f) may be preferably be prepared by reacting 2 moles of a compound of formula V ##STR22## with 1 mole of a diamine of formula VI

Those compounds of formula I having identical chromophores linked through a bridge member B which is a radical of formula (f), wherein B.sub.1 is a radical of formula (g) or (h) with Z.sub.2 as --HNCOCH.dbd.CHCONH--, ##STR23## may also preferably be prepared by reacting 2 moles of a compound of formula VII ##STR24## with 1 mole of a corresponding acid dichloride.

The reaction of a compound of formula V with a diamine of formula VI may be carried out in accordance with known condensation methods; preferably, the reaction is carried out at pH 6 to 8 and at room temperature to 40.degree. C.

The reaction in the presence of an acid dichloride is carried out in accordance with conventional methods, preferably at pH 5 to 6 and at temperatures from 5.degree. to 15.degree. C.

According to these two variants of production compounds of formula I in which Y is halogen are obtained. The replacement of the halogen atom with another group Y may be effected in conventional manner e.g., as described above.

The compounds of formula I may be isolated in accordance with known methods, for example by salting out, filtering and drying in vacuo.

The starting materials of formulae II and III and the compounds of the formula H--Y.sub.a as well as the diamines of formula VI are either known or may be prepared in accordance with known methods from available starting materials.

The compounds of formula I and mixtures thereof which are preferably in salt form are useful for dyeing or printing hydroxy-group- or nitrogen-containing organic substrates. Preferred substrates are paper, leather and textiles comprising or consisting of cellulose fibres, such as cotton.

The compounds according to the invention show high affinity for the substrates and therefore are good direct dyes. Those compounds containing a halogen atom in the triazine bridging member which can be split off are also useful as reactive dyestuffs.

Dyeing and printing with the dyes of the invention may be carried out in accordance with known methods. Dyeing of natural or regenerated cellulose such as cotton is preferably carried out according to the conventional exhaust dyeing method using temperatures from 20.degree.-50.degree. C. and 80.degree.-100.degree. C.

The dyestuffs of the invention give deep dyeings and have good exhaust- or fixation-yields. The dyeings obtained, especially on cotton and paper, are brilliant.

Dyeings and prints obtained exhibit good wet fastnesses and good light fastness. Furthermore, they show good fastness to peroxide, perborate and chlorine. For those dyeings obtained with reactive dyes it is notable that the unfixed dyestuff can be easily washed off the substrate.

The wet-fastness properties of the direct- or reactive-dyestuffs on cellulose fibres containing textile material may be notably improved by a special resin after-treatment with selected auxiliaries. Particularly, this treatment gives improved wash-fastness properties, allowing repeated washing at high temperatures.

Suitable for applying to the dyed or printed substrate is a fixing agent comprising a precondensate or mixture of either

(A) the product of reacting a mono- or polyfunctional primary or secondary amine with cyanamide, dicyandiamide, guanidine or bisguanidine; or ammonia with cyanamide or dicyandiamide, said product (A) containing reactive hydrogen atoms bound to nitrogen,

(B) a quaternary polyalkylene polyamine

with

optionally together with

(D) a catalyst for the crosslinking of N-methylol compounds of the type (C) above.

Details concerning the fixing agent as a combination of (A), (C) and (D) and its use are described in British Patent Application No. 2 070 006 A; details concerning the combination (B), (C) and (D) are described in British Patent Application No. 2 084 597 A.
