Definitions

  • This invention relates to color photography and ,particularly to a method for preventing the formation of color fog or stain in photographic emulsions.
  • the method .of .color photography in which colorforming or coupler compounds combine with the development product of aromatic amino photographic developers to produce dyes is wellknown.
  • the color formers or couplers may be added directly -to the emulsion layers or may be incorporated in the developing solution as described in Fischer U. S. Patent 1,102,028, granted June 30, 1914, or they may be incorporated in a water-permeable medium which is insoluble in the carrier for the sensitive silver salt as described in Marines and Godowsky U. S. Patent 2,304,940, December 15, 1942, and Jelley and Vittum U. S. Patent 2,322,027, granted June 15, 1943.
  • a difiiculty frequently encountered in these processes is the formation of color fog "or stain.
  • This stain which appears in the highlight orwliite .areas of processed pictures, may originate from several diiferent causes.
  • One cause may be that a small amount of developing agent is oxidized by the oxygen of theair, producing oxidized developer in small amounts which reacts with the colorforming couplers throughout thewhollepicture area.
  • some dye stain is formed.
  • An appreciable part of "the dye stain may result from silver fog.
  • This compound has good stain preventing propertieswhen incorporated in photographic color films but it suffers from .strong enough reducing agents .to .react rapidly with oxi- .dized color developer.
  • a further object is to provide antistain agents which do not form highly colored oxidation products when the material containing them is put through an oxidizing hath.
  • R represents an alkyl group tOf :from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, R being a different alkyl group than R and being attached to 'the-hydroquinone in the 5 or 6 position.
  • reaction mixture was allowed to stand overnight and was then poured into a solution .of 205 .g. of sodium acetate in 2 liters of water. Mechanicalstirring gave a The latter was decanted and the paste stirred with 1250 cc. petroleum ether until a thick slurry resulted (ca. 15 min). The solid was collected on an 18.5 cm. Biichner funnel and washed with 500 cc. more petroleum ether, followed by 2 liters of water. The material, dried in a steam cabinet at 40 C., weighed 137 g. (75.7%) and contained some inorganic material. Recrystallization from 2400 cc. of ethyl alcohol diluted with 600 cc.
  • antistain agents of our invention are useful, in general, with emulsions containing couplers incorporated in the manner described in Mannes and Godowsky U. S. Patent 2,304,940 or Jelley and Vittum U. S. Patent 2,322,027.
  • Couplers such as those described in Weissberger U. S. Patent 2,298,443 and Salminen and Weissberger U. S. Patent 2,423,730, when incorporated in this way, produce dyes upon color development which are prone to fading by the action of visible or ultraviolet light, when known antistain agents such as 2,5-di-tert. octyl hydroquinone are used in the emulsion layer. These are the yellow and cyan dyes.
  • the magenta dyes such as those formed from couplers described in Loria, Weissberger and Vittum U. S. Patent 2,600,788 are relatively little affected by the known antistain agents upon the action of light.
  • a quantity of the antistain agent was dissolved with 0.5 g. of coupler in 1.5 cc. of dibutylphthalate.
  • the resulting mixture was passed through a colloid mill three times, and to the resulting dispersion, 32 cc. of a gelatino-silver halide emulsion were added, and the mixture blended and coated on a film sup- G.
  • the antistain agents of our invention may also be used in non-sensitive overcoating or filter layers, such as a colloidal silver interlayer of multilayer photographic material.
  • the antistain agents of our invention are used in the emulsion or other layer in quantities ranging from 0.07 gram to 4.3 grams per liter of emulsion or gelatin solution. These values are, however, merely illustrative.
  • the antistain agents of our invention may be incorporated in a processing solution such as a prebath, first developer bath, or color-forming developer used with color film which is developed with a primary aromatic amino developing agent.
  • Our materials are particularly useful with color-forming emulsions coated on paper supports where it is especially important to reduce the minimum or fog densities. This applies both to negative developed paper and to reversal paper as well as to transparency materials.
  • a color-forming photographic emulsion having reduced fogging tendency comprising a silver halide emulsion having incorporated therein a non-diffusing coupler compound capable of coupling with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amino color developer to form a dye and as an antistain agent an unsymmetrical dialkyl hydroquinone having the formula where R represents an alkyl group of from 2 to 18 carbon atoms and R represents a methyl group, R being attached to the hydroquinone nucleus in a position selected from the class consisting of 5 and 6 positions.
  • a color-forming photographic emulsion having reduced fogging tendency comprising a silver halide emulsion having incorporated therein a non-diffusing coupler compound capable of coupling with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amino color developer to form a dye and as an antistain agent an unsymmetrical 2,5- dialkyl hydroquinone having the formula where R represents an alkyl group of from 2 to 18 carbon atoms.
  • a color-forming photographic emulsion having reduced fogging tendency comprising a silver halide emulsion having incorporated therein a non-diifusing coupler compound capable of coupling with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amino color developer to form a dye and as an antistain agent 2-n-hexadecyl-5-methyl hydroquinone.
  • a color-forming photographic emulsion having reduced fogging tendency comprising a silver halide emulsion having incorporated therein a non-diffusing coupler compound capable of coupling with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amino color developer to form a dye and as an antistain agent 2-sec. octadecyl-S-methyl hydroquinone.
