Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for marking a petroleum hydrocarbon or a liquid biologically derived fuel; said method comprising adding to said petroleum hydrocarbon or liquid biologically derived fuel at least one compound that is a R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 and R 10 -substituted xanthene, wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 and R 10 independently are hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, aryl or aryloxy; wherein each compound of formula (I) is present at a level from 0.01 ppm to 20 ppm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for marking a petroleum hydrocarbon or a liquid biologically derived fuel; said method comprising adding to said petroleum hydrocarbon or liquid biologically derived fuel at least one compound of formula (I) wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 and R 10 independently are hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, aryl or aryloxy; wherein each compound of formula (I) is present at a level from 0.01 ppm to 20 ppm. 2. The method of claim 1 in which R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 and R 10 independently are hydrogen, C 1 -C 30 hydrocarbyl, C 1 -C 30 hydrocarbyloxy, C 6 -C 35 aryl or C 6 -C 35 aryloxy. 3. The method of claim 2 in which R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 and R 10 collectively have at least one carbon atom. 4. The method of claim 3 in which R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 and R 10 independently are hydrogen, C 1 -C 30 alkyl, C 2 -C 30 alkenyl, C 1 -C 30 alkoxy, C 2 -C 30 alkenyloxy, C 6 -C 20 aryl or C 6 -C 20 aryloxy. 5. The method of claim 4 in which the compound of formula (I) is present at a level from 0.01 ppm to 10 ppm. 6. The method of claim 5 in which R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 and R 10 independently are hydrogen or C 1 -C 25 alkyl. 7. The method of claim 6 in which at least one of R 1 , R 8 , R 9 and R 10 is alkyl, and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 and R 7 are hydrogen.
