Definitions

  • one object of our invention is to provide chemically sensitized emulsions of enhanced light sensitivity. Another object is to provide emulsions having sensitivity enhanced by the combined effect of sulfur, gold and stannous compound sensitizing agents. A further object is to provide the methods of augmenting cmulsion sensitivity utilizing the novel combination of sensitizing agents. Further objects of our invention will become apparent from consideration of the following description.
  • the objects of our invention are accomplished by the incorporation into silver halide emulsions of a mixture of (A) a sulfur sensitizing agent such as disclosed in Sheppard U. S. Patents 1,574,944 granted March 2, 1926, and 1,623,499 granted April 5, 1927, e. g., allyl isothiocyanate, thiocarbanilide, thiourea, sodium thiosulfate, dio-tolyl thiourea, thioacetamide and allyl thiourea, (B) a gold salt sensitizing agent such as disclosed in Waller and Dodd U. S. Patent 2,399,083, e. g., gold chloride,
  • A a sulfur sensitizing agent such as disclosed in Sheppard U. S. Patents 1,574,944 granted March 2, 1926, and 1,623,499 granted April 5, 1927, e. g., allyl isothiocyanate, thiocarbanilide,
  • stannous chloride stannous bromide, iodide, fluoride and sulfate are preferred.
  • the stannous compounds are used in silver halide emul: sions in quantities of the order of from 1 l0-" to 44 l0- mol per mol silver halide.
  • stannous salts such as stannous halides
  • stannous salts we prefer to use from about; l l0- mol per mol silver halide up to about 44x10 mol per mol silver halide, the higher quantities sometimesbeing required when the conditions of operation cause excessive aerial oxidation of the stannite solutions.
  • concentration of stannous salts are used with the faster emulsions and up to about 20 10- mol per mol silver halide with slower fine-grained emulsions except when using stannite solutions.
  • Other factors well known to those skilled in the art will be found to influence the optimum concentration of stannous salt to obtain the characteristics desired for a given photographicemulsion.
  • the appearance of fog with a given emulsion and concentration of stannous salt is a good criterion to follow indicating that too much salt has been used.
  • Thequantities of sulfur and gold salt sensitizing agents in the "silver halide emulsions are not especially critical: and can be varied from the optimum amounts indicated in the following examples.
  • the novel sensitizers are incorporated into emulsions digestion is complete. That is, the emulsion can first be sensitized with a sulfur sensitizing agent and a gold salt sensitizing agent followed by one of the stannous compounds or the addition'of the stannous compound can be made prior to addition of the gold salt.
  • Example 1 A In a positive type of silver bromoiodide emulsion were incorporated 20 milligrams of allyl thiourea per mol of silver halide and 2 milligrams of potassium chloroaurate per mol of silver halide and the emulsion was digested for 61 minutes at 62 C. A sample of the emulsion was coated onto film base.
  • a tine-grained positive type of silver 'bromoiodide gelatin emu si was. sen t ed n a con nt n l' er w th. a sul r n t e: suc a esc dabq e b new tastie 3. m nut M 0 6- scaled @040 n coa e a'film- E A. s m e of he same.
  • ri n emuls o was en ii e n a coii t oaa manne w t he sulfur e i i used in D and a gold salt sensitizer such as described above, by heating for 30. minutes at 60 C., cooled to 40 and coated on film. Upon exposure, processing, and sensitometric evaluation, the emulsion was found to' have twice the speed of emulsion D. The combined effect of sulfur and gold salt sensitizing agents is thus illustrated.
  • many types of silver halide emulsions may be. treated with the novel combination of sulfur, gold and stannous sensitizing agents.
  • the novel sensitizers may, in general, be employed in hydrophilic colloid emulsion vehicles; for example, gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol, partially hydrolyzed s ll osc ster suc as cellu os acetate and copo y of polyvinyl alcohol, The sensitigersare suitable for the well lrnown types of; silver chloride, silver bromide and silver iodide.
  • emulsions and emulsions containing mixtures of these halides containing the usual emulsion addenda such as nntifoggants, spreading agents, coupler qomnoun a. u h. emulsions, are suitable to use.
  • such color films carry at least one emulsion layer containing the mentioned combination of sensitizing agents.
  • a ligh t sensitive, photographic emulsion comprising silver halide sensitized, with a sulfur sensitizing agent, a gold salt sensitizing agent, and: from 1x10 to 2O 10- mol. of stanuous chloride per mol of silver halide.
