Description

United States Patent PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS AND METHOD or PRODUCING THE SAME Millet R. De Angelus and Fritz Dersch, Binghamton,
N.Y., assiguors to General Aniline & Film Corporation, New York, N.Y., a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. V Filed Mar. 3, 1959, Ser. No. 796,756
" '11 Claims. (Cl. 9 6-6 6 The present invention relates to antifogging and stabilizing agents for photographic silver halide emulsions and, more particularly, to light-sensitive silver halide materials containing as a stabilizing and antifogging agent a tn'azine each carbon atom of which is substituted by a heterocyclic thioether group. a
It is well known in the photographic art that lightsensitive emulsions, such as gelatino silver halide emulr 2,948,612 Patented Aug. .9, 1960 amount ranging from 1 milligram to 2 5,milligrams per 0.6 mol of silver halide and when used as a coating final they are preferably added in an amount ranging from 10 milligrams to 300 milligrams per 0.6 mol of silver halide. The optimum amountto be added depends primarily on the type of emulsion and should be determined individually in each case.
sions, have a tendency to fog. Fog is usually caused by 4 a prolonged ripening of the emulsions, by prolonged storage especially at elevated temperatures and humidity, and by prolonged development. To overcome this undesirable-property, it has been the practice in this art to add certain chemical compounds to the emulsions to increase theirstability and to reduce their tendency to fog. However, all stabilizing and antifogging compounds heretofore used in this art have the disadvantage that upon addi-,
tion to the emulsion thy cause a loss of speed and/or contrast of the emulsion.
It is, accordingly, an object of this invention to produce a light-sensitive emulsion which is fast, stable, has a reduced tendency to fog and has good contrast.
A further object of this invention resides in a'light-' sensitive emulsion which contains a compound which stabilizes the emulsion against fogging and at the same time does not materially reduce the speed and/or contrast of the emulsion. I
A still further object of invention is to provide a light-sensitive emulsion containing a compound which stabilizes the emulsion against foggingand at the same time does not appreciably reduce the sensitivity to light of longer wave length efiectd by the presence of sensitizing dyes.
Other objects andvadvantages of this invention will ap' pear to those skilled in the art from the detailed description,t-l1ereof given below.
i 'Ihestabilizers and antifoggants contemplated for use herein may be typified by the following structural formula:
-3. in w hich R, is thiazolyl, ,imidazolyl, oxazolyl, benzothja'zolyl, benzimidazolyl or benzoxazolyl.
The antifogging agents of our invention may be added qthe. ennrlsion at any stage during its process of production.- Thus, they may be added as a ripening final or as a. coating final? When added as a ripening final,
The stabilizers and antifoggants of our invention may also be used in combination with known antifoggants and stabilizers. The antifoggants of our invntion can also be used in combination with sensitizers such as sulfur, metal and reduction sensitizers as well as with accelerators such as the polyoxyethylenes (see U.S.P. 1,970,578) and their,
derivatives and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone.
The novl antifoggants of our invention may be used with various types of photographic emulsions, such as;
non-sensitized, orthochromatic, panchromatic and X-ray emulsions, paper emulsions and color emulsions.
The antifoggants and stabilizers of the present invention'are preparedby the dropwise addition to an organic solvent solution of cyanuric chloride of a Z-mercaptobenzothiazole, -benzimidazole,' -benzoxazole, -thiazole,
-imidazole or -oxazole while the latter is dissolved in an aqueous low boiling organicsolvent such as acetone, butyl acetate or thelike in the presence of an acid binding agent 9 such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium The following examples illustrate a method of preparg iodide and'98% silver bromide was prepared in a concarbonate or the like. After commingling the reactants,
the mixture is stirred at a temperature of from 5.0 C.
and. then chilled and filtered. The resulting solid may be.
purified by washing with. acetone and recrystallized from benzene. V
ing'one of the compounds falling under the general formula given above and the manner of using the compound in conjunction with light-sensitive photographic silver halide emulsion. his to be understood, however, that these examples are given by way of illustration only and not by way of limitation.
Example I A silver halide emulsion in gelatin containing 2% silver ventional rnanner and brought up to-its maxim-um light sensitivity. It was then readied for coating, finals were added such as sensitizing dyes and harden'ing agents. A 1% solution of 2,4,6-tni (benzothiazolyl-2-thio)-S-tri- -azine was prepared and added in varying amounts to samples of the emulsion as an antifoggant and stabilizer."
Each emulsion sample contained'about 0.6 mol of silver halide. The so-prepared emulsion samples were coated on a suitable cellulose ester base and dried. Samples of these film coatings were then-exposed in a Type 'IIB Sensitometer, and developed in a developerofthe following composition:
Grams I The results obtained were as follows:
Oven Fog .at; 6 Development Relative The compound 2,4,6-tri (benzothiazolyl-Z-thio) -S- triazme used above has the following chemical structure:
The method used by us in preparing this compound is as follows:
To a stirred solution containing 8.4 grams of (.05 mol) Z-mercaptobenzothiazole, 150 ml. of acetone, 8 ml. of H 0, and 3.3 grams of potassium hydroxide (.05 mol) was added dropwise a solution containing 3.1 gram (.017 mol) of cyanuric chloride in 100 ml. of acetone. The addition was carried out at room temperature. The stirred reaction mixture was heated to 60 C. for hours, and then chilled and filtered. The solid was washed with 20 ml. of acetone, then with water until free of the inorganic salts. After crystallization from benzene, the pale yellow product melted at 210-211" C. (uncorrected). Yield-5 grams. Calcd. for C H N S N: calcd., 14.58%; found, 14.53% S: calcd., 33.33%; found, 33.14%
Example 11 Exposed samples of a photographic film were developed for twelve minutes at 65 F. in a standard p-(N-methylamino)phenol hydroquinone developer. Two tests were made, one with the normal developing solution and one with a developer containing 100 mgs. of 2,4,6-tri (benzothiazolyl-2-thio)-S-t1iazine per one liter of developer. Sensitometric strips, developed in the normal developer (control) for twelve minutes showed a fog of .30, whereas those strips, which were developed in the developer containing the antifoggant had a fog of .20.
Example III The procedure is the same as in Example I excepting that the antifoggant and stabilizer is 2,4,6-tri (benzoxazolyl-Z-thio) -S-triazine. The results obtained with this compound are similar to those of Example I.
This compound is prepared by the same method as that used in Example I excepting that the 2-mercaptobenzothiazole is replaced by .05 mol of Z-mercaptobenzoxazole.
Example IV The procedure is the same as in Example II excepting that the antifoggant and stabilizer employed is 2,4,6-tri (imidazolyl-Z-thio) -S-triazine or 2,4,6-tri (thiazolyl-Z- thio)-S-tn'azine.
These compounds are prepared in the same manner as the compound of Example I, excepting that 2-mercaptoirnidazole or 2-mercapto-thiazole is used in lieu of the 2- mercapto-benzothiazole.
