10 Claims.
This invention relates to fog inhibiting agents for photographic emulsions and to photographic emulsions containing them.
Photographic emulsions, particularly ultrasensitive emulsions are those containing color sensitizers exhibiting a tendency to tog. This fog manii'ests.itself as a uniform deposit of silver extending over ihe emulsion, It may be caused by exposing the emulsion in a room which is not completely dark or by development oi the him for protracted periods or at temperatures above normal. Highly sensitive emulsions are more likely to 05 than those of lower sensitivity owing to the small amount of energy required to make the silver halide grains developable.
It is, therefore, an obiect of the present inven tion to provide photographic emulsions oi enhanced stability and which do not exhibit a high tendency to fog. The compounds used for this purpose should not markedly lower the new sitivity of the light-sensitive materials in which they are incorporated. I
The use of amino-substituted derivatives of pyrimidine as fog inhibitors is described in Kendell U. 8. Patent 2,173,628, granted September 19, 1939, and in Davey a Knott U. 8. application Serial No. 847,489, filed July 25, 1940, now Pat'- ent No. 2,273,582 of February 17, 1942. These patents do not describe the use of amino-substi tuted thiopyrimidines as foe inhibitors.
We have new discovered that 2-mercapto-py-- lio'iiclines having an amino suhstituent in the 4 position or fl-positlon or both of the pyrimidine rim; are valuable to: inhibitors. The amino group may be a primary amino group or may be substituted with other uroups.
2-mercapto pyrimidine has the lollowlng struc-- turn] formula:
Amino derivatives of this compound which we have round suitable as antifogganta are as follows:

In the tests which we made, a high speed negative emulsion containing no sensitizing dyes or coating doctors and having a pH o! 1.1 was used. Stock solutions of the fog inhibiting oomlil pounds were made and these were added to the emulsion in varying amounts. The emulsions were coated on glass plates, dried and incubated to obtain a. substantial log on the control plate containing no fog inhibitor. Incubation was carried out at 48% C. for a period of time willcient to produce an appreciable amount of fog on the control plate. All of the plates were incubated for the same period of time.
The amount of fog inhibiting agent added to the emulsion is of importance since 11' too much of the fog inhibiting compound is added it may desensitise the emulsion. The exact amount that must be used varies without particular fog inhibiting compounds selected and with the type of emulsion used as regards Ira-in sine and alkalinity of the emulsion and ratio of the Ielatin to silver halide. However. we have found that with gelatino silver halide developing-out emulsions the amotmt of anti-foggant will generally vary between about .001 gram and 1 gram of antifoggant per 1000 cc. of emulsion. The fog inhibiting agents which we have found to be satisfactory may be used in various kinds of photographic emulsions. In addition to being useful in ordinary non-color-sensitized emulsions, they may also be used in ortho-chromatic or panchromatic emulsions or in X-ray emulalone. They can be used with or without sensitiming dyes and ii: used with sensitizing dyes may be added to the emulsion beiore or after such dyes.
The following table will serve in illustrate the amounts of the various specific fog inhibiting agents referred to above which we have found to be especially satisfactory. In each case the amount of fog inhibiting agent specified is used in 1000 cc. of gelatino silver halide emulsion containing from 5% to gelatin and the table indicates the solvent in which each of the agents was incorporated in the emulsion:

Generally, howeves-,ifamuehgreauramountisusedinthe emulsion either no increased fog inhibiting effect is obtained or there is a marked decrease in sensitivity oi the emulsion.
It is to be understood that we consider as included within our invention all modifications and equivalents tailing within the scope of the appended claims.
