Definitions

  • n has the meaning given above, and the degree of condensation X of the product of esterification may be 1 or more, for instance 1-100, preferably 1-10.
  • the substituent R may represent H or 3,lh9,853 i atented Feb. 16, l65
  • any silver halide emulsions of the developing-out type which provide a high gamma when developed with developers containing formaldehyde may be used.
  • the silver salts of such emulsions generally consist of silver chloride in a quantity of at least 50 mole percent. However, it is preferred to use emulsions in which the silver salts consist at least of 65 mole percent of silver chloride and accordingly 35 mole percent or less of silver bromide.
  • the emulsions may further contain small amounts of silver iodide, such as 1 to 2 mole percent.
  • the quantity of the above phosphoric acid esters to be added to the emulsion depends on the ratio of chloride to bromide in the emulsion, 10 to mg. per mol of silver halide may advantageously be used.
  • the emulsions can in addition be chemically sensitized with salts of noble metals, such as gold salts, with sulfur compounds or with reducing agents.
  • the emulsions can be optically sensitized with cyanine and merocyanine dyes.
  • the developers which may be employed in our invention contain as essential components a phenol type de veloper, such as hydroquinone, an alkali,such as an alkali metal carbonate, sodium or potassium carbonate, formaldehyde bisulfite and a small amount of a restrainer, such as alkali metal bromide.
  • a restrainer such as alkali metal bromide.
  • the developer can also contain sodium hydroxide, boric acid, a sequesterin g agent.
  • alkali metal carbonate and formaldehyde bisulfite the developer can contain, 'as a source of formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, an alkali metal sulfite and a buffering agent, such as alkali metal bisulfite.
  • Such developers are well known in the art and are for instance disclosed in US. Patents 2,184,053, 2,313,523, 2,902,367 and in British Patent 643,411.
  • Such developers may contain for instance per one liter 15-25 grams or" hydroquinone, 30-70 grams of formaldehyde bisulfite, 30-90 grams of sodium carbonate monohydrate, 5-20 grams of boric acid and 1-5 grams of alkali metal bromide or 15-25 grams of hydroquinone, 5-10 grams of paraformaldehyde, 1-5 grams of potassium metabisulfite (cryst), 20-40 grams of anhydrous sodium sulphite, 5-15 grams of boric acid and l-5 grams of alkali metal bromide.
  • the phosphoric acid esters of the present invention may be added to the above lithographic developers perferably in quantities of 30-300 mg. per liter.
  • the addition of the phosphoric acid esters of the present invention to the emulsion and/or to the developer causes the gamma value to rise considerably during development, for instance from about 6-8 to above 15.
  • the margin of time during development within which sharpness of raster dots may be obtained is increased from about one minute to 3 to 4 minutes.
  • a formaldehyde containing developer having such an addition is less dependent upon temperature. Whereas a developer without this addition reacts to temperature increases of 1 to 2 C. with a marked reduction in the margin of time for development, good results may be obtained with developer temperatures of 15 to 40 C. if these phosphoric acid esters have been added. Owing to the increased time available for processing, the above graphic use.
  • the phosphoric acid esters according to the invention are prepared by the usual methods used for esterification, and the degree of condensation of the esters may be infiuenced in the desired direction by varying the reaction time, the reaction temperature and the molar proportions of the reaction components.
  • the condensation may for instance be carried through in a liquid alkaline medium, such as in pyridine or triethylamine or other tertiary amines, at temperatures of about 0 to 80 C., preferably to 50 C.
  • the crystals may be isolated by suction filtration after some of the phosphorus oxychloride has been removed by evaporation in vacuo, and the crystals may then be washed with methylene chloride on the suction filter.
  • condensation time is increased the degree of condensation X increases likewise.
  • amount of octaethyleneglycol used for the reaction is increased up to 2 moles there are obtained condensation products in which both end groups are mainly formed by -'-(o cH cH oH- radicals.
  • COMPOUND H 19.4 g. of tetraethylene glycol, 31.2 g. of pyridine and 30 g. of ester chloride (Ia) are reacted as described above and worked up. 27 g. of a viscous light brown oil are obtained. The color may be removed from the 10% aqueous solution by means of active charcoal and bleaching earth.
  • the ioily liquid presumably consists mainly "of a compound of the following theoretical formula:
  • COMPOUND W 41.4 g. of nonaethyleneglycol, 31.2 g. of pyridine and 30 g. of ester chloride (Ia) produce 20 g. of a brown syrupy polycondensate which is diluted with water to a 10% solution and purified with active charcoal and bleaching earth.

  • the following theoretical formula may be used to represent the highly viscous polycondensate:
  • Example 1 A gelatine-silver halide emulsion the silver halide of which containing 15 mole percent of AgBr and mole percent of AgCl is Washed and then ripened to'maximurn sensitivity and 4-hydroxy-6-rnethyl-l,3,3a,7-tetrazaindole or other stabilizers and a wetting agent are then added, and the emulsion is poured on to a suitable film base (A).

  • Example 2 An emulsion accordinging to Example 1 is divided into two portions. One portion (A) has no additive while the other portion (B) has added to it 80 mg. of Compound II per mole of silver halide. Each portion is then poured on to a film base. The two samples are then illuminated and developed as in Example 1.
  • Example 3 An emulsion according to Example 1 is divided into a portion (A) without additive and a portion (B) with 80 mg. of Compound IH per mole of silver halide as additive, and the portions are poured on to a base and then treated as described under 1.
