Definitions

  • This invention relates to compounds useful as foginhibiting agents or hardening agents for photographic emulsions, and to photographic emulsions containing them.
  • an object of our invention to provide a method for stabilizing photographic emulsions.
  • Another object of our-invention is to maintain the sensitivity and fogof silver halide emulsions at or close to initial optimum values under keeping conditions of high temperature and humidity.
  • a further object is to provide photographic silver halide emulsions containing antifoggants (or stabilizers) or hardening agents.
  • the compounds selected from those represented by Formulas 1 and 2 above are, in general, known compounds.
  • the compounds represented by Formula 1 above can advantageously be prepared by reacting a halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acid together with ethylene oxide in vary, in ⁇ ; amounts.
  • ethylene oxide By varying the quantity of ethylene oxide, it is possible to produce monoesters wherein n has any desirable value. Accordingly, n can represent any positive integer, e. g., 1 to 200, or more.
  • This method of making monoesters is well known and has been previously described in the prior art.
  • the reaction is carried out in the presence of an acidic catalyst, such as boron trifluoride (generally in the form of a complex, such as with acetic acid, diethyl ether, etc.).
  • the compounds embraced by Formula 2 above can advantageously be prepared by reacting together an acid halide (e; g. chloride, etc.) of a halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acid with asuitable glycol, such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, the polyethylene glycols, etc.
  • a suitable glycol such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, the polyethylene glycols, etc.
  • n can also represent any positive integer, e. g. l to 200 or more.
  • the condensations can advantageously be carried out in the presence of an acid-bonding agent, such as pyridine, quinolinefetc although such acid-bonding agents need not be employed unless so desired.
  • an inert solvent such as dioxane, diethyl ether, etc., can be employed.
  • R represents a halogenoalkyl group
  • the compounds of Formula 2- can be prepared by heating together, in the presence of an acid esterification catalyst, a glycol, such as those listed above, with a halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acid.
  • Suitable esterification catalysts comprises sulphuric acid, p-toluenesul.- phonic acid, etc.
  • the speed of the esterification can be increased through the use of water-entraining agent, such as benzene, toluene, etc., which can be azeotropically distilled ofi.
  • a mixture of esters When employing higher molecular weight glycols in the methods outlined above, a mixture of esters generally results. For example, when a large amount of ethylene oxideis employed with respect to the quantity of halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acid, the reaction mixture contains a mixture of esters wherein the value of n in Formula 1 varies. Likewise, when a polyglycol is reacted with a halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acid or carboxylic halide, a mixture of diesters wherein the value of n,varies, results. While it is sometimespossible to separatethese mixtures into the -cpmponent esters,- i t is not necessary, to do so. Accordingly, in the table given-below, in some cases only the average value of n is set forth. Mixtures of esters, or pure esters, can be'employed to advantage in practicing our invention. Mixtures of monoesters with diesters are also effective.
  • Triethylene glycol (30 gms. 0.2 mol.) was cooled to 0 C. in an ice-bath and redistilled chloracetyl chloride (54 gms. 0.48 mol.) added slowly with stirring. The temperature was kept below 20 C. during the addition, which was complete in about 20 inins. The solution was stirred for a further 30 minutes and the excess acid chloride removed by heating on the steam-bathat waterpump pressure. The viscous oil "ensued? 'B.-'-P. 22 8 230 C. /20 m m., yield 55 gms.. (91% theoretical).
  • Example 2 Trie thyleneglycol-bis (p-chloropropionate) GhIOracetic acid (-19 gins. 0.2 inol.) was dissolved in sea: he (100 1111.) and boront'rifiuorideadd'e'd asth'e ether complex (-1 cc). Pure ethylene okide was passed into tlie-solnfidn ats 'e'h a 'ra't'ethat the temperature 'did not exee d 40 C. The new "of ethylene oxide was stopped "when an increase irrweight of 26 gms. was observed his.
  • the fog inhibitors which we propose to use areadded to the emulsion during the process of manufacture, to avoidlossof sensitivity 'andto inhibit the growth of fog with passage of time under'nonideal conditions of "storage.
  • a solution of the "compounds of the invention when added in suitable concentration, before coating, to ims ensi tize d, chemically “sensitized, or optically sensitized photographic emulsions does not appreciably affect the 'sensitome'tric values for sensi'tivity'and fog when measuremerits are "madesoon after coating.
  • sensit om etric "measurements are made at "appreciable intervals 'of time
  • the emulsions can b e unse nsitiz ed, or sensitized 'withch'emical sensitizers or -optical "sensitizeg l sulfur-sanitizers such as mose'ana sea in Sheppard U. S.;Patent 1,74,9 t4ean advantageously b eadded to t'he'iemulsioris in the"c61'1v'entional nia nner. "Alsofvarioiis"gold sfisitizers canbeem- '4 ployed in the photographic emulsions stabilized according to our invention.
  • the antifoggant or stabilizing activity of a number of compounds coming within the scope of general Formulas l and 2 was determined by incubation of a photographic emulsion at a temperature of 120 F. for three days at a relative humidity of 94% as shown in the table below.
  • the efliciency of the various antifoggants was then evaluated by measuring the speed and fog of the incubated emulsions containing an antifoggant and comparing these measurements with those of the same batch of emulsion before incubation. Also, similar measurements were made on aphotographic emulsion containing no antifoggant, both before and after incubation. The tests were made using a high speed silver bromiodide emulsion exposed on an Eastman type Ib 'sen'sitor'neter with an exposure of second and then developed for five minutes in a developer of the following composition:
  • D .Tnethyleneglycol-mono (chloracetate)
  • E Ethyleneglycol-bls (chloracetnte)
  • F Tr1ethyleneglyc0l-bis (trichloracetate) .
  • G Triethylencglycol-rnono (bromacetate).
  • H Polyethyleneglycol-mono (bromacetate) (71 avg. 60).
  • J Polyethyleneglycol-mono (lodoaeetate) (n avg. 50).
  • Suitable dispersing agents for the silver halide emulsions'stabilized according "to our invention comprisegelatin, -or other colloids, -such as collodion, albumen, cellulose organic “derivatives, synthetic resins, etc.
  • the optimum amount of fog-inhibitingagent can be determined by making the customary tests employed-in emulsion making.
  • the optimum amount for a given emulsion will vary depending on the presence-of emulsion addenda, such as chemical sensitizers, optical sensitizers, etc. In general, we have found that from I 1.0. g. to 15 .O g. of fog inhibiting agent per mole of silver halide is sufficientfor the purpose of our' invention.
  • certain of the antifogging compounds employed in our invention also have the property of hardening photographic emulsions.
  • This effect for a number of compounds is summarized in the following table wherein the softening temperature of the emulsion containing no antifoggant is compared with a similar batch of emulsion containing an antifoggant, the determinations being made before incubation, after three days incubation at 120 F. and a relative humidity of 94%, and after seven days incubation at 120 F. and a relative humidity of 42%.
