Definitions

  • This invention relates to dispersions of couplers useful in the manufacture of sensitive silver halide colour photographic materials.
  • a common method of preventing coupler diffusion comprises providing the coupler with a water-insoluble 'ballast' group and, before mixing it with the relevant coating composition, dispersing it as a uniform mixture with a water-insoluble high-boiling organic solvent, termed a coupler solvent or an 'oil-former', on an aqueous gelatin solution.
  • a surface-active agent is used to facilitate the dispersion process and to help stabilise the dispersion obtained.
  • Many photographic coupler dispersions contain compounds with phenolic or naphtholic groups of which the acidity is enhanced by the presence of electron-withdrawing substituents in the ortho and/or para positions relative to the hydroxyl group.
  • Well-known compounds of this kind are certain phenolic and naphtholic cyan dye-forming couplers, but couplers for producing dyes of other colours are known which contain such acidic groups. It has been found that the dark stability of dyes formed by colour development of photographic materials containing dispersions of phenolic or naphtholic compounds with enhanced acidity is not as good as is desirable.
  • the present invention is based upon the discovery that the adverse affect on dye stability of the phenolic or naphtholic compound can be mitigated to a useful extent by use of certain lipophilic anionic surfactants in preparing the relevant dispersions. Additional anionic surfactants of more conventional type may be used to aid the dispersion process but non-ionic surfactants have been found to reduce the beneficial effect of the lipophilic surfactant and so are excluded.
  • a method of making a photographic coupler dispersion by dispersing a mixture containing the coupler and an oil-former in an aqueous hydrophilic colloid solution in the presence of an anionic surfactant, the coupler and/or the oil-former comprising a phenolic or naphtholic moiety of which the acidity is enhanced by the presence of at least one electron-withdrawing group at a position ortho or para to the phenolic hydroxyl group, wherein there is added at any stage an anionic surfactant which may be said anionic surfactant above which comprises a sulphate or sulphonate group as the sole hydrophilic group and either a single aliphatic hydrocarbon group having at least 15 carbon atoms or two or more aliphatic hydrocarbon groups which together contain at least 17 carbon atoms, but wherein no non-ionic surfactant is used.
  • anionic surfactant defined above is referred to below simply as the lipophilic anionic surfactant.
  • the coupler dispersions contain in the oily, dispersed, phase, at least one compound comprising a phenolic or naphtholic moiety, each such compound having at least one electron-withdrawing substituent in a position ortho or para to the phenolic hydroxyl group which enhances the acidity of that group.
  • R is an alkyl or aryl group
  • each of R 1 and R 2 is hydrogen or an alkyl or aryl group
  • R 3 is an aryl or heterocyclic group
  • M is a cation, any group R, R', R 2 and R 3 possibly being itself substituted with such substituents as alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, halogen, nitro, and carboxylic acid, ester and amide groups.
  • a suitable substituent for the phenolic or naphthoic moiety has a Hammett p-Substituent Constant greater than zero: See, for instance, the article by Exner in the book'Advances in Linear Free Energy Relationships', edited by Chapman and Shorter, Plenum Press (London) 1972.
  • the compound comprising the acidic phenolic, or naphtholic, moiety may be the coupler itself, in which case it may be a suitably substituted member of one of the various classes of cyan dye-forming coupler.
  • couplers are described in, for example:
  • the compound comprising the acidic phenolic or naphtholic moiety may be a coupler giving, on colour development, a magenta or yellow dye, coupling taking place preferentially at a pyrazolone or active methylene coupling position rather than at a position para to the hydroxyl group of the phenolic or naphtholic moiety.
  • Couplers of this kind are described in, for instance: U.K. Patent Specification 1,474,128.
  • Coupler solvents having acidic phenolic or naphtholic moieties are described in, for instance: US Patent 4,207,393 and 4,228,235.
  • Coupler solvents Any of the usual coupler solvents may be employed as the oil-former in a dispersion of the invention. Suitable solvents are inert high-boiling liquids or low-melting solids, well-known examples being dibutyl phthalate and tricresyl phosphate. Numerous other coupler solvents are described in UK Patent Specification 541,589.
  • a coupler dispersion contains an anionic surfactant which comprises, as the sole hydrophilic group, a group of formula -S0 3 M or -OS0 3 M (where M is any convenient cation) and either a single aliphatic hydrocarbon group having at least 15 carbon atoms or two or more aliphatic hydrocarbon groups which together contain at least 17 carbon atoms.
  • the aliphatic hydrocarbon group or groups may contain unsaturation and the surfactant molecule may contain such non-hydrophilic features as ether, amide or sulphonamide linkages and ester groups.
  • Classes of surfactant having at least some members in accordance with these requirements include:
  • Preferred surfactants from these classes are alkane sulphonates (class i) of formula: R'S0 3 M and alkylphenol sulphonates (class ix) of formula: wherein R 1 is a straight chain alkyl or alkenyl group of at least 15 carbon atoms, and M is a cation, and dialkylsulphosuccinates (class xi) of formula: wherein m+n is at least 17, m and n being the same or different, M in the above formulae is a hydrogen ion, an alkali metal ion or any other suitable cation.
  • a mixture of two or more compounds may be used.
  • two or more couplers, coupler solvents or lipophilic surfactants may be employed, it being necessary for only one of these compounds to comprise an acidic phenolic or naphtholic moiety.
  • the dispersing agent used in a method of the invention may also include an additional, and less lipophilic, anionic surfactant.
  • an additional, and less lipophilic, anionic surfactant This may be from the classes (i) to (xiii) listed above, the reduced lipophilic character being achieved through the presence of fewer carbon atoms in the aliphatic hydrocarbon group or groups present or through the presence of more than one hydrophilic group, any additional group being, for instance an hydroxyl, or a carboxylic acid or salt, group.
  • a second anionic surfactant may contain a single group -S0 3 M or -OS0 3 M and either a single aliphatic hydrocarbon group having fewer than 15 carbon atoms or two or more aliphatic hydrocarbon groups which together contain fewer than 17 carbon atoms.
  • an additional anionic surfactant may be of some other class such as a sulphonated monoglyceride, a sulphated fat or oil having a free carboxyl group, and a-sulphocarboxylic acid, an alkyl glyceryl ether sulphonate or an N-acylated-amino acid.
  • the coupler-coupler solvent solution or mixture is dispersed, with the aid of a surfactant or surfactant mixture, in an aqueous hydrophilic colloid solution.
  • the colloid is preferably gelatin or a simple derivative such as phthalated gelatin.
  • the dispersion step in a method of the invention may be effected conventionally using any high-speed mixing device.
  • a water-miscible or volatile water-immiscible 'auxiliary solvent' may be present, being removed by washing with water from the set dispersion or when volatile, by evaporation under reduced pressure.
  • Auxiliary solvents and their use are described in, for example, U.S. Patent 2,801,171.
  • the compound comprising a phenolic or naphtholic moiety of enhanced acidity, or mixture of such compounds preferably constitutes at least 5% by weight of an oil phase (i.e. the coupler, water-immiscible solvent and lipophilic anionic surfactant) and the lipophilic anionic surfactant preferably constitutes at least 1 % by weight of the oil phase.
  • an oil phase i.e. the coupler, water-immiscible solvent and lipophilic anionic surfactant
  • the lipophilic anionic surfactant preferably constitutes at least 1 % by weight of the oil phase.
  • the weight of lipophilic surfacent is usually present at a concentration of from 1 to 100% by weight, the preferred range being 3 to 20%.
  • a coupler dispersion made by a method of the invention is employed conventionally in the manufacture of incorporated-coupler silver halidecolour photographic materials, both negative and positive.
  • Numerous references to patent specifications and other publications relating to silver halide photographic materials, including colour materials and their processing, are given in Research Disclosure December 1978, Item 17643 (see especially sections VII, XI, XIV and XIX).
