Definitions
- This invention relates to fog inhibiting agents and stabilizers for photographic emulsions and to photographic emulsions containing them.
- Fog depends both on the emulsion and the conditions of development; for a given emulsion it increases with the degree of development. With constant development conditions, it tends to increase with time, temperature and relative humidity of storage conditions; it is common practice to make accelerated tests of the stability of photographic emulsions by storage at increased temperature or humidity, or both. It is, of course, desirable to have emulsions as stable as possible under the conditions of high temperature and humidity which may occur in tropical climates, for example. Fog usually appears over the whole area of the sensitive coating, but when severe, it frequently is non-uniform. Fog may also be caused by exposure to chemicals, for example, hydrogen sulfide and other reactive sulfur compounds, hydrogen peroxide vapor, and strongly reducing materials. While antifoggants and stabilizers may protect, to some extent, against such effects, it is normally understood that an antifoggant protects against spontaneous growth of fog during prolonged storage or storage at high temperatures and humidities, or during development to maximum contrast and speed, or both.
- an object of the present invention to provide a method for stabilizing photographic emulsions.
- a further object is to provide a means for reducing the fog produced upon keeping of such emulsions which have r been sensitized, especially emulsions stored under tropical or other adverse conditions.
- a still further object is to provide a means for stabilizing the speed and contrast of sensitized photographic emulsions.
- R2 N N atent and R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group (such as methyl, ethyl, etc.), or an aryl group (such as phenyl, tolyl, etc., especially a mononuclear aromatic group of the benzene series).
- R represents a methyl group and R represents a hydrogen atom have been found to be especially useful in practicing our invention.
- the compounds selected from those represented 1 by Formula I above can advantageously be prepared by condensing 3-amino-5-hydroxy-methyl- 1,2,4-triazole together with an ester selected from those represented by the following general formula: (II) (I) R2 R1- CHCOORa wherein R and R each has the values given above'and R represents a lower alkyl group (such as methyl, ethyl, etc).
- R and R each has the values given above'and R represents a lower alkyl group (such as methyl, ethyl, etc).
- the compounds selected [from those represented by Formula I above wherein R is a halogen atom can advantageously be prepared by heating together a compound selected from those represented by Formula I above wherein R is a hydroxyl group and a phosphoryl halide, such as phosphoryl chloride. Illustrative examples of these methods are given below.
- the antifoggant compounds represented by Formula I can be employed in emulsions which have been sensitized optically or chemically, or emulsions which have not been so sensitized. It is known that the efiective sensitivity of photographic silver halide emulsions can be increased by adding to them derivatives of alkylene oxides, such as ethylene oxide polymers having molecular weights of 300 or more. The practical value of these compounds is severely limited by their tendency to increase fog on storage of the photographic film, especially storage at elevated temperatures and humidity. It has been found difiicult to control this by the antifoggants commonly available without using quantities of antifoggants which partly neutralize the speed increase obtained from the alkylene oxide derivatives.
- the alkylene oxide polymers used to sensitize the emulsions can be of various types.
- the alkylene oxides from which the polymers are derived contain from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, e. g., ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and butylene oxide.
- the preparation of polymers from these compounds is described in Ellis, The Chemistry of Synthetic Resins (1935), pages 990 to 994.
- These compounds are also referred to as polyalkylene glycols and their use as sensitizers for silver halide emulsions is described in U. S. Patents 2,423,549 and 2,441,389.
- Ethylene oxide polymers have been found to be especially advantageous in practicing our invention.
- alkylene oxides may also be used to sensitize the silver halide emulsions, e. g., condensation products of alkylene oxide with glycols, such as those having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, as described in U. S. Patent 2,240,472 and British Patent 443,559, as well as condensation products of alkylene oxides with aliphatic alcohols, aliphatic acids and aliphatic amines, that is, polyalkylene ethers, esters and amides, the preparation of which is described in U. S. Patent 1,970,- 578, condensation products of alkylene oxides with phenols, also described in U. S. Patent 1,970,578, and condensation products of alkylene oxides with hexitol ring dehydration products, as described in U. S. Patent 2,400,532.
- condensation products of alkylene oxide with glycols such as those having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, as described in U. S. Patent 2,240,472 and British Patent 44
- polyalkylene oxide or derivative of alkylene oxide should have a molecular weight of at least 300.
- Condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain alcohols should have a molecular weight of about 700; other derivatives may have a molecular weight of 1500 to 4000 or more.
- the principal purpose of our invention is to provide a means for maintaining the sensitivity and fog of silver halide emulsions at or close to initial optimum values under conditions of high temperature or high humidity, or both.
- the antifoggants of our invention are added to the emulsion at any stage during the process of manufacture prior to coating the emulsion.
- the antifoggants can be added to the emulsion in solution in water or any convenient solvent not injurious to the emulsion, such as lower aliphatic alcohols.
- antifoggants which we employ when added in suitable concentration before coating to unsensitized or optically sensitized silver halide emulsions usually do not appreciably affect the sensitivity and fog when measurements are made soon after coating. However, when sensitometric measurements are made after appreciable intervals of time under tropical or dry conditions of storage at elevated temperatures, the antifoggants do stabilize speed and maintain fog at a low level.
- alkylene oxide derivatives which can be used to sensitize the emulsions can be illustrated by the following specific examples, although our invention is in no way limited to the use of these specific compounds.
- the preparation of silver halide emulsions involves three separate operations: (1) the emulsification and digestion or ripening of the silver halide, (2) the freeing of the emulsion from aqueous soluble salts usually by washing, (3) the second digestion or after-ripening to obtain increased sensitivity (Mees, The Theory of the Photographic Process, 1942, page 3).
- the fog inhibiting agents can be added at any stage, preferably after the final digestion.
- the photographic emulsions which we use are of the developing-out type and best results have been obtained with gelatino-silver bromoiodide emulsions. However, emulsions of varying halide content can be used.
- the emulsions can be chemically sensitized by any of the accepted procedures.
- the emulsions can be digested with naturally active gelatin, or sulfur compounds may be added such as those described in Sheppard U. S. Patent 1,574,944 and U. S. 1,623,499, and Sheppard and Brigham U. S. Patent 2,410,689.
- the emulsions can also be treated with salts of the noble metals such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium and platinum, all of which belong to group VIII of the periodic table of elements and have an atomic weight greater than 100.
- Representative compounds are ammonium chloropalladate, potassium chloroplatinate and sodium chloropalladite, which are used for sensitizing in amounts below that which produces any substantial fog inhibition, as described in Smith and Trivelli U. S. Patent 2,448,060, and as antifoggants in higher amounts, as described in Trivelli and Smith U. S. Patents 2,566,245 and 2,566,263.
- the emulsions can also be chemically sensitized with gold salts as described in Waller and Dodd U. S. Patent 2,399,083, or stabilized with gold salts as described in Damschroder U. S. Patent 2,597,856 and Yutzy and Leermakers U. S. Patent 2,597,915.
- Suitable compounds are potassium chloroaurite, potassium aurithiocyanate, potassium chloroaurate, auric trichloride and 2- aurosulfobenzothiazole methochloride.
- the emulsions can also be chemically sensitized with reducing agents, such as stannous salts (Carroll U. S. Patent 2,487,850), polyamines such as diethylene triamine (Lowe and Jones U. S. Patent 2,518,698), polyamines such as spermine (Lowe and Allan U. S. Patent 2,521,925), or bis-([i-aminoethyl) sulfide and its water-soluble salts (Lowe and Jones U. S. Patent 2,521,926).

- the emulsions can also be stabilized with the mercury compounds of Allen, Byers and Murray U. S. application Serial No. 319,611 (now U. S. Patent 2,728,663, issued December 27, 1955); Carroll and Murray U. S. application Serial No. 319,612 (now U. S. Patent 2,728,664, issued December 27, 1955); and Leubner and Murray U. S. application Serial No. 319,613 (now U. S. Patent 2,728,665, issued December 27, 1955), all filed November 8, 1952.
- the antifoggants of our invention alone, or in combination with polyalkylene oxides or their derivatives, are. effective in the presence or absence of optical sensitizing dyes. Since optical sensitizing can affect stability of emulsions with respect to sensitivity, fog and latent image changes, the action of the antifoggants is not completely independent of optical sensitizing or other emulsion variables. We have found, however, that both unsensitized emulsions and emulsions sensitized with cyanine or merocyanine dyes, or both, can be treated with the antifoggant compounds represented by Formula I above.
- the quantity of antifoggaut compound employed can In a manner similar to that illustrated in the above examples, other compounds selected from those represented by Formula I .can be used to stabilize photographic silver halide emulsions, either in the presence or abbe varied, depending upon the particular silver halide 5 sence of chemical sensitizers. employed, degree of ripening, presence or absence of We have also found that compounds corresponding to other emulsion addenda, etc.
