Description

A-G 6747-Forei_gn Countries JCAlkluNT 2351812 -I- A colour photographic
copier material This invention relates to a colour photographic copier material which comprises at least one pyrazoloazole as a cYan coupler.
In particular, colour photographic copier materials are materials for opaque images or displays, and generally comprise a positive image. They are thus not recording materials like colour photographic films.
Pyrazoloazoles are cyan couplers, which are known from IP-A 64-554 and EP 717 315 for example, which provide very clear cyan dyes with relatively short- wave absorption bands and very high extinctions and which therefore enable savings of silver halide to C) be made. Moreover, the cyan dyes of these couplers exhibit very good stability on storage with the exclusion of light.
A disadvantage of these couplers is that they give rise to a colour shift of blue and cyan 0 colour shades. - The object of the present invention is to eliminate this disadvantage so as to be able to utilise the advantages of these couplers.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that this object can be achieved for a material of the 1 type cited at the outset, which comprises at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer which comprises at least one cyan coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer which comprises at least one magenta coupler, and at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer which comprises at least one yellow coupler, which material contains, in the at least one redsensitive layer, at least one pyrazoloazole cyan coupler of formula (I) A-G 6747-Forei-gn Countries X 12)n Y 11 N wherein R" and R 12, independently of each other, represent an electron- attracting group, Xii represents H or a group which can be split off by reaction with developer oxidation product, y1i represents a group for the completion of a nitrogen-containing heterocycle, with V the proviso that a group represented by R 12 is bonded to a carbon atom of the heterocycle, and n represents I or 2, characterised in that a two-equivalent yellow coupler is associated with the at least one red-sensitive layer or a red-sensitised silver halide emulsion is associated with the at least one layer which comprises a yellow coupler.
If a two-equivalent yellow coupler is associated with the at least one red-sensitive layer, the yellow coupler is preferably used in the at least one red-sensitive layer. In particular, the amount of yellow coupler in the red-sensitive layer ranges from 1 to 10 mol % of the amount of cyan coupler of formula (I).
The two-equivalent yellow coupler which is used in the red-sensitive layer preferably exhibits a rate of coupling which is not more than five times the rate of coupling of the t a pyrazoloazole cyan coupler. The rate of coupling is determined by the method described in J. Phot. Sci. 36, (1988), page 14.
A-G 6747-Foreign Countries Two-equivalent yellow couplers almost always couple significantly more rapidly than cyan couplers. It would have been expected that a cyan layer composed according to the invention would exhibit a colour shift from low to high densities, with the low densities being strongly shifted towards yellow or green. 5 Surprisingly, however, this does not occur.
0 The preferred two-equivalent yellow couplers are acetanilides, particularly pivaloyl acetanilides and malonic anilides, the volatile groups of which are linked to the coupler molecule via 0 or N and which are substituted in the ortho position of the anilide component by chlorine, alkoxy or aryloxy.
Two-equivalent yellow couplers which are quite particularly preferred correspond to formula (H): is R21 R 2-4 R 1 26 R22-C-CO-CH-CONH - 1 1 (H) 1 H23 R25 wherein R21 denotes an alkyl, which preferably comprises 1 to 4 C atoms, particularly methyl, R22 denotes an alkyl, which preferably comprises 1 to 4 C atoms, particularly methyl, R23 denotes a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, which preferably comprises 1 to 4 C atoms, particularly methyl,or A-G 6747-Foreign Countries R22 and R23 together denote the remaining members of a cyclopropyl radical, R24 denotes chlorine or alkoxy, R25 denotes -NHCO-R2-7, -S02NH-R27, -NHS02-R27, -COOR27, Cl, Br or alkoxy, R26 denotes a hydrogen or chlorine atom, R27 denotes a substituent, particularly a ballast group, and Q denotes the remaining members of a substituted irnidazole, imidazolidinedione, oxazolidinedione or triazolidinedione ring, wherein the alkyl groups can be further substituted.
Numerous possibilities exist for the joint incorporation in one layer of a cyan coupler according to the invention and a yellow coupler: these compounds can be incorporated C) in a common emulsion in at least one coupler solvent, or in two separate emulsions, which optionally each comprise at least one coupler solvent, If a red-sensitised silver halide emulsion is associated with the at least one blue sensitive layer, said emulsion should provide, over the entire density range for red exposure, an amount of yellow density which corresponds to I to 30 %, preferably 3 to %, of the cyan density.
The term "associated" means that the red-sensitised silver halide emulsion is situated in the blue-sensitive layer or in a layer adjacent thereto, so that the developer oxidation A-G 6747-Forei-Rn Countries I- -5- product (DOP) which is formed in this layer on development only couples with one coupler, namely the yellow coupler, in the at least one blue- sensitive layer.
The red-sensitised silver halide emulsion is preferably situated in the at least one blue- sensitive layer itself.
In this situation, the invention can be put into effect by employing a silver halide emulsion which is both blue- and red-sensitised, or by mixing two separate blue- or red-sensitised silver halide emulsions with each other. Finally, the red-sensitised silver halide emulsion can also be used in a separate layer together with the yellow coupler.
The red-sensitised silver halide emulsion which is associated with the blue-sensitive layer is selected in particular so that it approximately corresponds to the red-sensitivity of the layer which contains the cyan coupler, This can be effected via the amount of sensitiser or can also be effected via the grain size, for example.

A review is given in Research Disclosure 37038 (1995), Research Disclosure 38957 (1996) and
Research Disclosure 40145 (1997).
Photographic copier materials consist of a support on which at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer is deposited. Thin films and foils are particularly suitable as supports. A review of support materials and of the auxiliary layers which are deposited on the front and back thereof is given in Research Disclosure 37254, Part 1 (1995), page 285 and in Research Disclosure 38957, Part XV (1996), page 627.
Colour photographic copier materials usually contain at least one redsensitive, at least one green-sensitive and at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and optionally contain intermediate layers and protective layers also.
Depending on the type of photographic copier material, these layers may be arranged 1 0 differently. This will be illustrated for the most important products:
Colour photographic paper and colour photographic display material usually comprise, in the following sequence on their support: a blue- sensitive, yellow-coupling silver halide emulsion layer, a green- sensitive, magenta coupling silver halide emulsion layer, and a red- sensitive, cyan-coupling silver halide emulsion layer. A yellow filter layer is not necessary.
A-G 6747-Foreign Countries Departures from the number and arrangement of the light-sensitive layers may be effected in order to achieve defined results. For example, colour papers may also comprise intermediate layers which are sensitised differently and via which the gradation can be influenced.
The essential constituents of the photographic emulsion layer are the binder, the silver halide grains and colour couplers.
Information on suitable binders is given in Research Disclosure 37254, Part 2 (1995), page 286, and in Research Disclosure 38957, Part H.a (1996), page 598.
Information on suitable silver halide emulsions, their production, ripening, stabilisation and spectral sensitisation, including suitable spectral sensitisers, is given in Research 0 is Disclosure 37254, Part 3 (1995), page 286, in Research Disclosure 37038, Part XV (1995), page 89, and in Research Disclosure 38957, Part V.A (1996), page 603.
In addition, pentamethine cyanins can be used as red sensitisers for the red-sensitive layer which comprise naphthothiazole, naphthoxazole or benzthiazole as basic terminal groups, which are substituted with a halogen or with methyl or methoxy groups, and which can be bridged by a 9,11-alkylene linkage, particularly a 9,11- neopentylene linkage. The methine chain can additionally comprise other substituents. Pentamethines which have only one methyl group on their cyclohexene ring can also be used. The red sensitiser can be super-sensitised and stabilised by the addition of heterocyclic mercapto compounds.
In addition, the red-sensitive layer can be spectrally sensitised between 390 and 590 rim, preferably at 500 rim, so as to effect better differentiation of red tones.
A-G 6747-Foreign Countries The spectral sensitisers can be added in dissolved form or as a dispersion to the photographic emulsion. Both the solutions and the dispersions can contain additives such as wetting agents or buffers.
The spectral sensitiser or a combination of spectral sensitisers can be added before, during or after the preparation of the emulsion.
Photographic copier materials either contain silver chloride-bromide emulsions comprising up to 80 mole % AgBr, or silver chlodde-bromide emulsions comprising more than 95 mole % AgCl.
Information on colour couplers is to be found in Research Disclosure 37254, Part 4 (1995), page 288, in Research Disclosure 37038, Part H (1995), page 80, and in
Research Disclosure 38957, Part X.B (1996), page 616. For copier materials, the
1 maximum absorption of the dyes formed from the couplers and from the colour developer oxidation product preferably falls within the following ranges: yellow couplers 440 to 450 rim, magenta couplers 540 to 560 rim, cyan couplers 640 to 670 rim.
The yellow couplers which are usually employed in copier materials in association with a blue-sensitive layer are, almost without exception, two-equivalent couplers of the pivaloyl acetanilide and cyclopropylcarbonyl acetanilide series.
The magenta couplers which are used in copier materials are, almost without exception, those from the series comprising ani li nopyrazol ones, pyrazolo[5,1-c](1, 2,4)triazoles or pyrazolo[1,5-bl(1,2,4)triazoles.
The light-insensitive intermediate layers which are generally disposed between layers of different spectral sensitivity may contain media which prevent the unwanted diffusion of developer oxidation products from one light-sensitive layer into another light-sensitive layer which has a different spectral sensitivity.
A-G 6747-Foreign Countries -26 Suitable compounds (white couplers, scavengers or DOP scavengers) are described in Research Disclosure 37254, Part 7 (1995), page 292, in Research Disclosure 37038,
Part Ill (1995), page 84, and in Research Disclosure 38957, Part X.D (1996), page 621 et seq.
The photographic material may additionally contain compounds which absorb UV light, brighteners, spacers, filter dyes, formalin scavengers, light stabilisers, anti C oxidants, Dmi,, dyes, plasticisers (latices), biocides and additives for improving the dye, coupler- and white stability and to reduce colour fogging, and other substances.
Suitable compounds are given in Research Disclosure 37254, Part 8 (1995), page 292, in Research Disclosure 37038, Parts IV, V, VI, VH, X, M and M (1995), pages 84 et seq., and in Research Disclosure 38957, Parts VI, VIII, DC, X (1996), pages 607, and
610 et seq.
The layers of colour photographic materials are usually hardened, i.e. the binder used, preferably gelatine, is crosslinked by suitable chen-fical methods.
Suitable hardener substances are described in Research Disclosure 37254, Part 9 (1995), page 294, in Research Disclosure 37038, Part XII (1995), page 86, and in
Research Disclosure 38957, Part H.B (1996), page 599.
After image-by-image exposure, colour photographic materials are processed by different methods corresponding to their character. Details on the procedures used and 0 the chemicals required therefor are published in Research Disclosure 37254, Part 10 (1995), page 294, in Research Disclosure 37038, Parts XVI to XXIH (1995), page et seq., and in Research Disclosure 38957, Parts XVIR, M, XX (1996), page 630 et seq., together with examples of materials.
