NOVELTY - Rylenetetracarboxylic aciddiimide derivatives (I) are new.    USE - (I) are useful for dyeing high-molecular organic and inorganic materials, where the high-molecular materials are lacquers, printing inks or plastics. (I) are useful for the production of absorbing aqueous polymer dispersions in the nearby-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. (I) are useful for the production of invisible infrared light of absorbent markings and inscriptions. (I) are useful as active components in photovoltaic (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - (I) provides absorption in electromagnetic spectrum to a large extent.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Rylenetetracarboxylic aciddiimide derivatives of formula (I) are new.
