Abstract
Description
Les inconvénients essentiels des colorants azométhiniques constituant les images photographiques habituelles en couleur sont leur manque de stabilité à la lumière et leurs absorptions chromatiques indésirables qui altèrent le rendu colorimétrique des épreuves finales.Les colorants diazoïques,en revanche,ne présentent pas ces défauts à un tel degré.Leur stabilité à la lumière est considérable et leur immense variété permet de sélectionner des colorants primaires donnant lieu à un rendu chromatique de très grande qualité.The main drawbacks of the azomethine dyes constituting the usual color photographic images are their lack of light stability and their undesirable chromatic absorption which alter the colorimetric rendering of the final proofs. Diazo dyes, on the other hand, do not have these defects at such Their light stability is considerable and their immense variety makes it possible to select primary dyes giving rise to a very high chromatic rendering.
L'idée de systèmes photographiques fondés sur de tels composés remonte au siècle dernier,ce n'est toutefois que bien plus tard que des surfaces sensibles relevant de l'utilisation de colorants diazoïques ont été mises sur le marché.(1,2,3).The idea of photographic systems based on such compounds dates back to the last century, but it was not until much later that sensitive surfaces involving the use of diazo dyes were put on the market. (1,2,3 ).
Leur seule singularité de traitement est fondée sur le fait qu'il est possible de détruire un colorant diazoïque proportionnellement à la quantité d'argent métallique que l'on oxyde à son voisinage immédiat.(1,2 et 3 donnent de nombreuses références à cet égard.)

Un produit photosensible basé sur l'utilisation de ces colorants diazoïques est constitué par la superposition de trois couches sensibles aux trois primaires,chacune contenant un colorant diazoïque,uniformément réparti,et de couleur complémentaire à la sensibilité chromatique de la couche considérée.A photosensitive product based on the use of these diazo dyes consists of the superposition of three sensitive layers on the three primaries, each containing a diazo dye, uniformly distributed, and of color complementary to the chromatic sensitivity of the layer considered.
Le principe de traitement d'un tel produit photographique est le suivant:
- 1) Développement par un révélateur classique d'une image argentique,donc négative, dans chacune des couches sensibles après exposition à la lumière.
- 2) Blanchiment de l'argent métallique ainsi créé en même temps que l'on détruit une quantité proportionnelle de colorant se trouvant au voisinage du métal.
- 3) L'image colorée obtenue lors de la phase précédente est donc positive et il ne reste plus qu'à éliminer par fixage les sels d'argent résiduels,layer et sécher pour obtenir une épreuve photographique finale.De ces trois étapes de traitement il est évident que celle du blanchiment,sur laquelle repose en fait tout le procédé, est la plus délicate.
- 1) Development by a conventional developer of a silver image, therefore negative, in each of the sensitive layers after exposure to light.
- 2) Whitening of the metallic silver thus created at the same time as a proportional quantity of dye is found in the vicinity of the metal.
- 3) The colored image obtained during the previous phase is therefore positive and all that remains is to remove by fixing the residual silver salts, layer and dry to obtain a final photographic print. It is obvious that that of bleaching, on which the whole process is based, is the most delicate.
La réaction globale(bien connue) de ce système est:
La concentration en ions H⁺ est donc un élément essentiel de cette réaction.The concentration of H⁺ ions is therefore an essential element of this reaction.
La conversion argent/ion argent étant réversible il est nécessaire de complexer les ions argent par un ligand puissant comme l'ion iodure.Toutefois la réaction globale est lente et il possible d'accroître considérablement sa cinétique par l'adjonction d'un catalyseur.The conversion silver / silver ion being reversible it is necessary to complex the silver ions by a powerful ligand like the iodide ion. However the overall reaction is slow and it is possible to considerably increase its kinetics by the addition of a catalyst.
Les meilleurs catalyseurs sont des hétérocycles appartenant aux dérivés des pyrazines des quinoxalines ou des phénazines.The best catalysts are heterocycles belonging to pyrazine derivatives of quinoxalines or phenazines.
Comme il est aisé de développer une surface argentique photosensible et aussi de la fixer à grande rapidité il est clair que la phase limitative du procédé est l'accélération de la destruction des colorants car le blanchiment rapide de l'argent est très facile. La présente invention a donc trait à ce dernier point comme il sera exposé dans ce qui suit.As it is easy to develop a photosensitive silver surface and also to fix it at high speed, it is clear that the limiting phase of the process is the acceleration of the destruction of the dyes because the rapid whitening of the silver is very easy. The present invention therefore relates to this last point as will be explained below.
- A) Exposition lumineuse: Elle a été réalisée à l'aide d'ue batterie de flash identique à celle se trouvant sur des cabines automatiques de prises de vue en conservant tout au cours des tests rigoureusement les mêmes conditions énergétiques des éclairs de flash. A) Light exposure: It was carried out using a flash battery identical to that found on automatic shooting booths, while rigorously retaining the same energy conditions as the flashes of lightning during the tests.
- B) Traitement: Celui-ci tout comme l'exposition a été effectué en utilisant une machine rotative ou bien à l'aide du dernier équipement consistant en une machine à rouleaux capable d'effectuer un traitement à très grande vitesse. B) Processing: This, like the exposure, was carried out using a rotary machine or using the latest equipment consisting of a roller machine capable of performing processing at very high speed.
Pour chaque essai photographique les conditions d'exposition ont été maintenues constantes en ce qui concerne la puissance des éclairs de flash et les solutions de traitement ont été changées ainsi que les eaux derinçage.For each photographic test, the exposure conditions were kept constant with regard to the power of the flashes of flash and the treatment solutions were changed as well as the rinsing waters.
Dans la machine rotative utilisée pour conduire les essais la séquence habituelle des solutions de traitement est de deux bacs de révélateur,trois bacs de blanchiment,un bac d'eau de rinçage,trois bacs de fixateur puis des bacs d'eau jusqu'à la sortie du papier.La température de traitement est de 35°C et la durée totale du cycle de la machine est d'environ quatre minutes et demie.In the rotary machine used to conduct the tests, the usual sequence of treatment solutions is two tanks of developer, three tanks of bleaching, one tank of rinsing water, three tanks of fixative then tanks of water to the output from the paper. The processing temperature is 35 ° C and the total machine cycle time is approximately four and a half minutes.
Pour chaque essai il a été fait les épreuves suivantes:
- a) un blanc,la porte de la cabine de prise de vue étant ouverte durant toute la la durée du traitement.
- b) un fond de cabine,cette dernière étant vide,porte fermée.
- c) prise de vue d'un modéle,toujours la même personne.
- d) photographie d'une gamme chromatique.
- a) a blank, the door of the shooting booth being open throughout the duration of the treatment.
- b) a cabin bottom, the latter being empty, door closed.
- c) shooting of a model, always the same person.
- d) photograph of a chromatic scale.
On a choisi les conditions d'essai suivantes:
température 33°C.
séquence:deux bacs de révélateur,deux bacs de blanchiment,un bac d'eau de rinçage, trois bacs de fixateur puis des eaux jusqu'à la sortie de la bande.Même durée du cycle de la machine.Dans le cas d'essais à grande vitesse ( deux minutes et quarante cinq secondes ) la température a été portée à 35°C toutes choses égales par ailleurs. Dans ces conditions,en utilisant les solutions de traitement habituelles,le blanc est gris par manque blanchiment des colorants,le fond de cabine présente un aspect. gris avec une forte dominante cyan,le personnage est sombre sur fond cyan ainsi que la gamme chromatique qui présente un profond déséquilibre.The following test conditions were chosen:
temperature 33 ° C.
sequence: two tanks of developer, two tanks of bleaching, one tank of rinsing water, three tanks of fixer then water until the exit of the strip. Same duration of the cycle of the machine. In the case of tests at high speed (two minutes and forty five seconds) the temperature was raised to 35 ° C, all other things being equal. Under these conditions, using the usual treatment solutions, the white is gray due to the lack of whitening of the dyes, the cabin background has an appearance. gray with a strong dominant cyan, the character is dark on a cyan background as well as the chromatic range which presents a deep imbalance.
Le but à atteindre est donc dans ces conditions de trouver une substance,qui ajoutée au bain de blanchiment,va permettre de rétablir l'aspect normal des tests.The goal to be achieved is therefore in these conditions to find a substance, which, added to the bleaching bath, will allow the normal appearance of the tests to be restored.
De nombreux auteurs ont étudié le mécanisme probable de l'action du catalyseur en ce qui concerne le blanchiment de l'argent et celui simultané des colorants.Many authors have studied the probable mechanism of the action of the catalyst with regard to the bleaching of silver and that of the dyes simultaneously.
Il semble très vraisemblable que l'on aît la série de réactions suivantes:
- A) Le catalyseur en solution très acide a un atome d'azote quaternisé qui à ce titre sert d'intermédiaire d'oxydo-réduction en transportant un proton sur un atome qui passe ainsi à l'état d'ion argent.Cette réaction est réversible d'où la nécessité d'avoir un complexant puissant de l'ion argent en milieu très acide.
- B) A la suite de cette première réaction le catalyseur se trouve sous forme d'un radical chargé positivement qui va se dismuter pour donner un agent réducteur actif et le catalyseur de départ.
- A) The catalyst in very acid solution has a quaternized nitrogen atom which as such acts as an oxidation-reduction intermediary by transporting a proton on an atom which thus passes to the state of silver ion. reversible hence the need for a powerful complexing agent of the silver ion in a very acid medium.
- B) Following this first reaction, the catalyst is in the form of a positively charged radical which will disproportionate to give an active reducing agent and the starting catalyst.
L'ensemble de ces réactions est schématisé ci-après:
première étape
seconde étape
first stage
second step
En considérant qu'il s'agit là du véritable mécanisme du blanchiment de l'argent et des colorants il nous a semblé qu'il n'y avait pas possibilité d'agir sur la première réaction car en présence d'un ligand puissant de l'ion argent comme l'ion iode celle-ci ne peut se faire que dans un sens et relativement rapidement.Considering that this is the real mechanism of money laundering and dyes it seemed to us that there was no possibility of acting on the first reaction because in the presence of a powerful ligand of the silver ion like the iodine ion this can only be done in one direction and relatively quickly.
On ne peut donc agir,pour un catalyseur donné,que sur la seconde réaction soit en augmentant la quantité du catalyseur,ce qui ne donne d'ailleurs pas de bons résultats, soit en introduisant un autre corps susceptible de déplacer l'équilibre de la seconde réaction de la gauche vers la droite.One can thus act, for a given catalyst, only on the second reaction either by increasing the quantity of the catalyst, which does not give good results besides, or by introducing another body likely to shift the balance of the second reaction from left to right.
Une première idée serait donc de chercher à éliminer les ions H⁺produits par la seconde réaction à l'aide d'une base organique forte comme par exemple:
le 1,5 Diazabicyclo[4,3,0]non-5- ene (DBU) ou bien encore le 1,8 Diazabicyclo[5,4,0] undec-7-ene.Les essais effectués avec ces produits comme d'ailleurs avec d'autres bases organiques fortes se sont révélés totalement négatifs.A first idea would therefore be to seek to eliminate the H⁺ ions produced by the second reaction using a strong organic base such as for example:
1,5 Diazabicyclo [4,3,0] non-5- ene (DBU) or even 1,8 Diazabicyclo [5,4,0] undec-7-ene. The tests carried out with these products as elsewhere with other strong organic bases have been found to be completely negative.
Il est donc clair que la seule possibilité restante est d'introduire une base de Lewis, molécule nucléophile ou si possible hypernucléophile permettant de "transporter" le proton de la seconde réaction de la gauche vers la droite de façon à transformer le dérivé chargé du catalyseur en dérivé dihydrogéné actif et en catalyseur de départ assurant ainsi un retour rapide du système de blanchiment à l'état initial.It is therefore clear that the only remaining possibility is to introduce a Lewis base, a nucleophilic or if possible hypernucleophilic molecule which makes it possible to "transport" the proton of the second reaction from the left to the right so as to transform the derivative charged with the catalyst. active dihydrogen derivative and starting catalyst thus ensuring a rapid return of the bleaching system to the initial state.
On peut penser de plus qu'un tel corps doit appartenir à un groupe ponctuel de symmétrie relativement élevé pour avoir une répartition favorable de ses orbitales moléculaires.(4,5,6 et 7)

Dans les conditions données,c'est à dire en milieu très acide,les groupes donneurs d'électrons ne peuvent être que des groupes alkyles agissant sur une structure de départ déjà propice et particulièrement stable en un tel milieu.Il nous a donc semblé que seuls les hétérocycles π-déficients constituaient à ce point de vue les meilleurs structures de départ.Nous appellerons dans ce qui suit"accélérateurs" les corps qui en présence du catalyseur donnent une accélération très notable de la cinétique du blanchiment des colorants et raménent les bandes d'essai mentionnées plus haut à leur aspect normal.Under the given conditions, i.e. in a very acid medium, the electron donor groups can only be alkyl groups acting on a starting structure already favorable and particularly stable in such a medium. It therefore seemed to us that only the π-deficient heterocycles constituted from this point of view the best starting structures. We will call in what follows "accelerators" the bodies which in the presence of the catalyst give a very notable acceleration of the kinetics of bleaching of the dyes and bring back the bands above mentioned in their normal appearance.
Le premier composé intéressant est donc la pyridine dont l'action a déjà été mentionnée dans de nombreuses publications mais dont l'action accélératrice est très insuffisante.On doit donc rechercher une amélioration de cet accélérateur potentiel en introduisant des groupes donneurs d'électrons qui ne peuvent être que des substituants alkylés,comme le radical méthyle ,l'ortho ou la para-toluidine ne donnent pas de bons résultats(la méta-toluidine ne convient pas pour des raisons d'orbitales moléculaires et ce à priori).The first compound of interest is therefore pyridine, the action of which has already been mentioned in numerous publications but the accelerating action of which is very insufficient. We must therefore seek an improvement of this potential accelerator by introducing electron donor groups which do not may be that alkylated substituents, such as the methyl radical, ortho or para-toluidine do not give good results (meta-toluidine is not suitable for reasons of molecular orbitals and this a priori).
L'introduction de deux radicaux méthyle en ortho de la pyridine comme dans la 2-6 Lutidine donne alors un accélérateur sensible mais pas encore parfait;les autres lutidines,dont le groupe ponctuel de symmétrie moléculaire est de ce fait plus bas, ne conduisent, comme il était prévisible, à aucun corps intéressant.The introduction of two methyl radicals in ortho of pyridine as in 2-6 Lutidine then gives a sensitive accelerator but not yet perfect; the other lutidines, whose point group of molecular symmetry is therefore lower, do not lead, as expected, no interesting body.
Après la pyridine on peut rechercher encore d'autres dérivés comme la méta ou la para-aminopyridine qui n'ont pas de groupements donneurs et dont l'action est nulle, mais les dérivés alkylés comme l'ortho ou surtout la paradiméthylaminopyridine,corps hypernucléophile fournit à l'inverse un accélérateur déjà extrêmement puissant à la dose de 5.10⁻³ mole par litre tandis que l'orthodiméthylaminopyridine a sans doute un effet d'accélération mais moins marqué que dans le cas du dérivé en para vraisemblablement à cause de son degré de symmétrie inférieur.On peut aussi rechercher des homologues comme dans le groupe de la quinoléïne ou de l'acridine toutefois sans gain appréciable.After pyridine, we can also look for other derivatives such as meta or para-aminopyridine which have no donor groups and whose action is zero, but alkylated derivatives such as ortho or especially paradimethylaminopyridine, hypernucleophilic body. conversely provides an already extremely powerful accelerator to the dose of 5.10⁻³ mole per liter while orthodimethylaminopyridine undoubtedly has an accelerating effect but less marked than in the case of the para derivative, probably because of its lower degree of symmetry. We can also look for homologs as in the quinoline or acridine group, however, without appreciable gain.
La seconde série de composés à étudier dérivent de la pyridazine,de la pyrimidine et de la pyrazine et apparentés;on peut exclure immédiatement deux substances la pyridazine pour laquelle on sait que la liaison entre les deux atomes d'azote est principalement simple(8) et la pyrimidine pour laquelle dés le départ la répartition électronique semble peu favorable(8).On sait que dans la pyrazine les interactions 1-2 n⁺σ, n⁻σ*sont fortes et conduisent à un écartement notable des niveaux n⁺ et n⁻(9).The second series of compounds to be studied are derived from pyridazine, pyrimidine and pyrazine and related; two pyridazine substances can be immediately excluded for which it is known that the bond between the two nitrogen atoms is mainly simple (8) and pyrimidine for which, from the start, the electronic distribution seems unfavorable (8). We know that in pyrazine the interactions 1-2 n⁺σ, n⁻σ * are strong and lead to a significant separation of the levels n⁺ and n⁻ (9).
On est donc conduit de ce fait à étudier les dérivés de la pyrazine susceptibles d'être de puissants accélérateurs.Les dérivés méthylés de faible symmétrie ne donnent pas de molécules très actives,là encore à cause de leur manque de symmétrie,par contre la tétraméthylpyrazine est elle aussi un accélérateur puissant à de faibles doses de l'ordre de 5.10⁻³ mole par litre.Les blancs obtenus sont très purs et l'équilibre chromatique tout à fait normal dans les tests tels qu'ils ont été décrits précédemment. Ceci corresponds au fait que la molécule a une symmétrie élevée( groupe ponctuel moléculaire D2h).

Il a été mis au point à cette occasion une préparation simple de la tétraméthylpyrazine à partir du diacétyle.A simple preparation of tetramethylpyrazine from diacetyl was developed on this occasion.
On attend une heure puis on verse la solution A dans la solution B et on porte l'ensemble,sous agitation,à reflux durant trois heures.Après refroidissement on améne à dix litres avec de l'eau distillée et corrige si nécessaire le pH à l'acide sulfurique dilué ou avec une solution décimolaire de soude de façon à obtenir une valeur de 5 environ.On filtre,lave,séche à l'air.Le corps obtenu est la dihydrotetraméthylpyrazine laquelle s'oxyde à l'air pour donner le produit recherché,la tetraméthylpyrazine avec un rendement supérieur à 75% de la théorie par rapport au diacetyl de départ.Wait one hour, then pour solution A into solution B and bring the whole, with stirring, to reflux for three hours. After cooling, bring to ten liters with distilled water and correct the pH if necessary. sulfuric acid diluted or with a decimolar solution of sodium hydroxide so as to obtain a value of approximately 5. We filter, wash, air dry. The body obtained is dihydrotetramethylpyrazine which oxidizes in air to give the sought product, tetramethylpyrazine with a yield greater than 75% of theory compared to the starting diacetyl.
L'utilisation simultanée de deux accélérateurs donne de bons résultats mais n'améne toutefois aucun avantage particulier en d'autres termes il n'y a pas d'effet de synergie.The simultaneous use of two accelerators gives good results but does not however bring any particular advantage in other words there is no synergistic effect.
Les autres composés nucléophiles que nous avons essayés n'ont pas donné de résultats intéressants essentiellement à cause de leur instabilité en milieu aqueux très acide tandis que d'autres n'ont qu'un intérêt théorique car trop couteux ou trop difficiles à fabriquer.The other nucleophilic compounds that we have tried have not given interesting results essentially because of their instability in very acidic aqueous medium while others have only a theoretical interest because they are too expensive or too difficult to manufacture.
Il est bon de noter le rôle important que joue la symmétrie dans les molécules que nous avons mentionné.Exemple structure C2v de la paradiméthylaminopyridine qui est un accélérateur de choix alors que l'homologue en ortho ,moins symmétrique est aussi beaucoup moins actif.It is good to note the important role that symmetry plays in the molecules we mentioned. Example C2v structure of paradimethylaminopyridine which is an accelerator of choice while the counterpart in ortho, less symmetrical is also much less active.
