  • a solution nearly saturated at 25 C. with a candidate organic compound is prepared using ethanol, acetone, dimethyl formamide, water or other suitable solvents. Depending on the solubility, a solution concentration from 0.01 to percent by weight is obtained. Twentyfive m1. of a silver chlorobromide dispersion containing mg. of silver halide (calculated as silver bromide), prepared as described below, is treated with small increments (i.e., about 0.1 to 0.2 m1. at a time) of the said candidate solution under safelight conditions (Wratten 1A red filter or equivalent) until the silver halide dispersion either is rendered insoluble in 10% aqueous sodium thiosulfate or the candidate is found not to cause insolubilization.

  • This test may be repeated for various pH increments from 1 to 13. Although there is some optimum pH value at which the test is most sensitive, this is not a sharp maximum which must be precisely attained. Rather, it has been found that there is a fairly broad range of pH values (e.g. 2.0 to 3.0 pH units) over which the test has a satisfactory sensitivity.
  • the silver halide dispersion might be tested without adjustment (e.g. at pH 5.0 to 7.0) and if insolubilization occurs here, Test A is completed. If there is no insolubilization, the test is repeated at a higher pH (e.g., about pH 1l-13).

  • actinic radiation e.g., ultraviolet, visible, infrared, X- radiation, etc.
  • solubilizing groups in the R portion of the above formula should be avoided in order that reaction products with silver halide will be formed which will significantly reduce the solubility of silver halide grains in silver halide solvents.
  • the silver halide need not be a combination of silver chloride and silver bromide, but may be silver chloride, silver bromide and other mixed halide systems conventional in photographic practice, e.g., silver bromoiodide.

  • Example 1 a number of organic compounds are disclosed which were tested in a dispersion of silver halide crystals wherein the average grain size was 035 (micron) in diameter, therefore about 0.043 t in volume, assuming cubic grains.
  • the silver halide comprised 70 mole percent silver chloride and 30 mole percent silver bromide, with a specific density of about 5.7 g./cc.
  • a particularly preferred thiophenol is 4-i-butyrylaminothiophenol. Assuming that a single molecule of this compound could occupy an area of square angstrorns, it would require 1.5 l0 molecules to occupy a molar surface area of silver halide. With a molecular weight of 195, this would require 1.5 10 l9o O.50 g.
  • Example II it required 210x10 g. of 4-ibutyrylaminothiophenol to insolubilize 2.5 10- g. of silver halide of average molecular Weight 157. Therefore according to experimental data (test tube results) it would require of this thiophenol to insolubilize one mole of the silver halide. More significantly, as disclosed in Example II in a photographic emulsion coated on a film base support, it was found that 0.4 g. of the same thiopheno-l per mole of silver halide gave optimum results. This compares more closely with the theoretically determined amount of 4-i-butyrylaminothiophenol required to cover the silver halide surface.
  • Elements suitable for this novel process can also be prepared by bathing a photographic film in a solution of an appropriate acylaminothiophenol.
  • the silver halide crystals near the surface of the coated emulsion stratum are in contact with a higher concentration of the thiophenol. Crystals farther from the surface, are treated with less of this organic compound and, if the rate of diffusion is sufliciently slow, there may be considerably less of the compound (even approaching zero) reacting with the lower silver halide crystals than with the surface silver halide crystals.
  • satisfactory results might be obtained with only a fraction, e.g., one-half, of the amount of the organic compound theoretically calculated as required to just cover the surface of a mole of the silver halide crystals.
  • the N-acylaminothiophenols used in accordance with this invention can be made by reacting the corresponding acid chloride with the aminothiophenol, e.g., p-aminothiophenol dissolved in pyridine by slowly adding the acid chloride at a temperature between 5 C. and 10 C. with stirring and allowing the mixture to stand about 24 hours. The mixture is then poured into 1 liter of crushed ice containing 250 m1. concentrated HCl and 250 ml. water, the mixture is stirred vigorously, allowed to stand for about 5-10 minutes to ripen the crystals, which are washed with water until free of acid, dried and recrystallized from methanol. Typical crystals have the melting points given in the following tables.
  • Tests A and B have been described earlier as procedures whereby one can determine whether or not a given N-acylaminothiophenol is suitable for use according to the process of this invention. Some of the compounds which were indicated as suitable according to the screening procedures of both tests, have been incorporated into actual photographic coatings and good results have been obtained. Below there are listed a number of thiophenols which were tested in this manner in cluding one of the compounds which has been found to be inoperable. The inoperable compound shown failed to produce the insolubility required of Test A and was therefore not subjected to further testing.
  • Test C a simulated photographic test has been devised and is designated as Test C.
  • the test is believed to be completely adequate in that any compound which is found suitable according to the photoexposed to the lamp for up to minutes.
  • TEST C A 0.5 ml. portion of the insolubilized dispersion prepared in Test A under safelight conditions is placed in a 12 x 75 mm. Pyrex test tube three inches from a No. 2 reflectoflood lamp.
  • This insolubilized dispersion is A control consisting of another 0.5-ml. portion of the insolubilized silver halide dispersion from Test A is taken under safelight conditions. Two-tenths of a milliliter of 10% aqueous sodium thiosulfate is added to each of the dispersion samples taken and compared under safelight conditions. Any reduction in turbidity of the dispersion exposed to the reflectoflood lamp compared to the unexposed control after treatment with aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution shows that photosolubilization occurs.
  • Tests A, B and C were all conducted using Silver Halide Dispersion I, the preparation of which was given immediately following the description of the procedure for Test B.
  • the qualitative procedure of Test A was repeated in a more quantitative manner, using a ripened, washed and redispersed (but not chemically sensitized) gelatino-silver chlorobromide emulsion as described in Example I of assignees copending application, Nottorf, U.S. Serial No. 94,989, filed March 13, 1961.
  • Dispersion II This emulsion is designated in the table below as Dispersion II and was made as follows: A lithographic emulsion having a silver halide composition of 30 mole percent AgBr and 70 mole percent AgCl and having grams of gelatin present per mole of silver halide for the steps of precipitation and ripening was freed of unwanted, soluble, by-product salts by a coagulation and wash procedure as taught in Waller et al. US Patent 2,489,341, wherein the silver halide and most of the gelatin were coagulated by an anionic wetting agent, sodium lauryl sulfate, using an acid coagulation environment. Following the washing step, the emulsion coagulate was redispersed in water together with 47 grams of additional bulking gelatin.
  • N-Acylaminothiophenols of silver halide was applied at a coating Weight of 46 mg. of silver per square decimeter on 0.004 inch thick polyester photographic film base (with a sublayer to provide proper adhesion) as described in Example IV of Alles, U.S. Patent 2,779,684.
  • the coating after imagewise exposure, showed a gerater rate of fixing in an 0.5 molar aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate in exposed areas than in the unexposed areas so as to form a positive silver halide image.
  • Solublem- EXAMPLE II An emulsion as described in Dispersion 11, Example I was redispersed in a 5% gelatin solution which contained 47 g. gelatin per mole of the silver halide. A pH 6.0:.1 was maintained while dispersing 10 min. at F. The emulsion was brought to 2320 g. by addition of water and the temperature adjusted to F. Four-tenths of a gram of 4-i-butyrylaminothiophenol was added per mole of silver halide from a 1% by weight ethanol solution.
  • Chrome alum hardener was added and the emulsion was diluted with water to a total weight of 2334 g. per mole latter amounts constitute the maximum quantity that provides low fog without serious loss in speed and photographic quality. For this reason it is not practical to use photosoluble elements in place of ordinary silver halide photographic materials. When photosoluhle elements are exposed and processed normally, development proseeds slowly and incompletely to give a negative silver image having much less speed and lower density. In addition, fixing is slower and may be incomplete for practical fixing times. Thus, photosoluble elements require longer conventional processing times and give slower speed, in-

  • this present process is not limited to the use of certain photographic developing agents but may be accomplished by using a wide range of reducing agents. Many such compounds are of very low cost and can be used to form images of much higher covering power than customary, thus effecting important economies in processing, as well as greatly increasing the efliciency of the silver image with a resultant increase in sensitivity.
