Definitions

  • This invention relates to photographic silver halide emulsions, and more particularly, to an improved means for sensitizing such photographic silver halide emulsions.
  • the compounds used in our invention do not appear to be chemical sensitizers in the usual sense, since they increase speed by their presence during exposure and processing and require no digestion with the photographic emulsion to produce an increase in speed, nor does their chemistry indicate that they are likely to react with silver halide under normal emulsion conditions.
  • novel sensitizers of our invention are quite unique in that the effects produced are additive in photographic emulsions which have already been sensitized to their optimum, or near-optimum, with conventional chemical sensitizers, such as labile sulfur compounds.
  • the novel sensitizers of our invention can be used to sensitize photographic silver halide emulsions containing no other sensitizers, if desired.
  • the novel sensitizers of our invention are not strictly chemical sensitizers, since chemical sensitizers do not generally provide the additive effects of the type mentioned.
  • an object of our invention to provide photographic silver halide emulsions which have been sensitized with various non-polymeric compounds com ice taining a plurality of sulfur atoms.
  • Another object of our invention is to increase the sensitivity of ordinary photographic silver halide emulsions which have been sensitized with chemical sensitizers, such as compounds containing labile sulfur atoms, or gold-containing compounds.
  • chemical sensitizers such as compounds containing labile sulfur atoms, or gold-containing compounds.
  • non-polymeric open-chain compounds which can be characterized as polyoxathio others.
  • These non-polymeric compounds contain their sulfur atoms in the form of thioether linkages.
  • thioether linkages we mean a linkage wherein the sulfur atom is divalent and is joined to two non-oxocarbonylic carbon atoms.
  • Compounds useful in sensitizing photographic silver halide emulsions according to the present invention are to be distinguished from the polymeric thioether compounds described in US. patent application Serial No. 779,874, filed December 12, 1958, by J. R. Dann and I. J. Chechak.
  • the polymeric compounds described in this latter application are generally characterized as having high molecular weights and as containing characteristic repeating units or groups.
  • sensitizing compounds useful in practicing our invention are non-polymeric and can be represented by the following general formula:
  • X represents a divalent linkage selected from oxygen, sulfur, and the group:
  • X and X each represents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, provided at least one of the groups se lected from X, X and X is an oxygen atom and at least one of the groups selected from X, X and X is a sulfur atom, X represents a methylene carboxy radical, i.e.,
  • It CH2CO R represents a hydroxyl group, an alkoxyl group (e.g., methoxyl, et-hoxyl, propoxyl, butoxyl, etc.), a car-bamyl group, i.e.,
  • R represents an ethylene radical, such as ethylene or ethylene substituted by an alkyl group, such as methyl
  • d represents a positive integer of from 1 to 2
  • n represents a positive integer of from 1 to 3.
  • the compounds of Formula I above can be prepared according to methods which have been previously described in the technical literature. For example, these compounds can be prepared by condensing together a monothiol with a dihalogenated ether compound in the presence of sufficient alkali to form the alkali metal salt of the monothiol. Alternatively, these compounds can be prepared by condensing together an organic halide with sodium sulfide. These two alternative methods of .syntheses can be outlined as follows:
  • the reaction mixture was heated under a reflux condenser on the steam bath for 20 hours, the solvent removed under vacuum, and the product separated from the sodium chloride formed, by extraction with hot absolute ethanol 3 and ethyl acetate. The solvents were removed from the combined extracts and the product was distilled. B.P. 220230 C./3 mm.

  • sensitizers of our invention can be added to photo- 19.7 g.
  • a prodgraphic emulsions using any of the well known techniques uct was obtained which boiled over the range of 166-188 in emulsion making.
  • the sensitizers can be C. at 2 mm.
  • Decomposition began when further distildissolved in a suitable solvent and added to the silver lation was attempted.
  • the product somewhat dark in halide emulsion, or they can be added to the emulsion in the formof a dispersion similar to the technique used to incorporate certain types of color-forming compounds (couplers) in a photographic emulsion. Techniques of this type are described in Jelley et al. U.S.
  • the solvent should be selected so that it has no harmful efiect upon the emulsion, and generally solvents or diluents which are miscible with water are to be preferred.
  • Water or dilute alkali is a dispersing medium for some of the sensitizers of the invention.
  • the sensitizers can be dissolved in a solvent, such as etha nol, acetone, pyridine, N,N-dimethylformamide, etc., and added to the emulsion in this form.

  • a suitable dispersing agent such as alkali metal salts of aromatic or aliphatic sulfonic acids
  • the sensitizers of our invention should have suificient water-dispersibility so that they can be adsorbed to or associated with the grains of the silver halide present in the emulsion in sufiicient amount to sensitize the emulsion. It is apparent that the optimum amount for each of the sensitizers will vary somewhat from emulsion to emulsion and from compound to compound.
  • the optimum amount of any given sensitizer can be determined for any particular emulsion by running a series of tests in which the quantity of sensitizer is varied over a given range. Exposure of the treated emulsion in conventional photographic testing apparatus, such as an intensity scale sensitometer, will reveal the most advantageous concentrations for that sensitizer in that particular emulsion. Such matters are well understood by those skilled in the art.
