The foundations of the chemical dyestuffs industry were laid in
1856 when W. H. Perkin discovered the dye Mauveine. At
approximately the same time modern chemistry was establishing
itself as a major science. Thus, the chemistry of dyes became that
branch of organic chemistry in which the early scientific theories
were first used. This early eminence has now been largely lost. In
fact, many of our academic and teaching institutions pay little
attention to this vitally important branch of organic chemistry. We
believe that this book will help to rectify this unfortunate
situation. The majority of books that have been published on the
subject of dyes have been technologically biased and, in our
opinion, do not appeal to the mainstream organic chemist. We have,
therefore, aimed at producing a book which emphasises the role of
organic chemistry in dyestuffs and we have included appropriate
modern theories, especially the modern molecular orbital
approaches. We have assumed that the reader possesses a knowledge
of the basic principles of organic chemistry;* the only other
requirement is a general interest in organic chemistry.** The book
should interest the newcomer to chemistry, the established
academic, and the dyestuffs chemist himself.
