Definitions

  • This invention concerns inhibitor releasing developers and more particularly photographic emulsions containing such developers.
  • developing agents in the photographic emulsion. These developing agents can be activated to provide development of the latent image and in some instances to harden or tan the colloid containing the silver halide in the exposed regions whioh will subsequently form relief images after the unhardened images have been removed.
  • the presence of the developing agent in the photographic emulsion may have an adverse effect on the keeping qualities of the emulsion resulting in an overall hard ening of the emulsion or fogging.
  • the developing action carried on by the use of an alkaline agent which initiates development may result in fog or other adverse results.
  • a developing inhibiting agent along with the developer which would reduce fog and improve the keeping characteristics of the photographic emulsion.
  • an inhibtor would also result in inactivating the developer or keeping it in an inactive state until such time that it is needed for carrying out development following exposure.
  • Hydraquinone has been combined with various materials in the prior art for use as developers or for incorpor ating in photographic emulsions. For instance, certain compounds of this type have been used wherein it is desired to eliminate and minimize the need for washing or stabilizing operations in liquid photographic baths subsequent to the formation of the silver image, for instance in the diffusion transfer systems, particularly where prints are desired from a silver halide emulsion which has been substantially underexposed in relation to its ASA exposure index.
  • these prior art hydroquinone derivatives do not provide inhibitors at the site of development or produce the desired effect of reducing contrast at no loss of speed.
  • One object of this invention is to provide inhibitor releasing developers. Another object is to provide photographic emulsions containing inhibitor releasing developers. A further object is to provide developer containing emulsions having reduced contrast and increased edge eifects with little or no loss in effective speed. A further object is to provide a development inhibitor (i.e. iodine) in chemical combination with a developing agent which releases the inhibitor at or near the site of development. A still further object is to :provide iodo substituted hydroquinones. Another object is to provide new inhibitor releasing compounds that can be used in liquid developing solutions. Other objects will be apparent from the following disclosure.
  • hydroquinone developers which are useful in our invention are preferably prepared by reacting a phenol with iodine and hydrogen peroxide. The iodobenzoquinone thus formed is then reduced to the corresponding iodohydroquinone.
  • the iodo derivatives of hydroquinone are preferably incorporated in the photographic emulsion by forming a dispersion in a high boiling crystalloidal solvent of the type described in lelley et al., US. Patent 2,322,027. These developers may be substituted in an amount of 5 to mol percent depending upon the particular compound and the desired decrease in contrast.
  • R R R and R each represents a hydrogen atom, an iodine atom, an alkyl group (for example an alkyl group having about l-20 carbon atoms, such as methyl, butyl, octyl, decyl, tridecyl, eicosyl, etc.), OH, amine, an aryl group (for example an aryl group such as phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, etc.).
  • an alkyl group for example an alkyl group having about l-20 carbon atoms, such as methyl, butyl, octyl, decyl, tridecyl, eicosyl, etc.
  • OH OH
  • amine for example an aryl group such as phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, etc.
  • R and R each represents a hydrogen atom, or any alkaline splittable masking group, for example, a group such as, acetyl, mono-, di-, or trichloroacetyl, mono-, di-, or trifluoroacetyl, perfluoroacyl (e.g., butyryl), pyruvyl, alkoxalyl, nitrobenzoyl, cyanobenzoyl, etc.
  • the substituents on the hydroquinone ring are not critical and may be the same or different. At least one of the substituents, R R R 0r R must be iodine and one of the other substituents, R R R or R must be a group other than hydrogen.
  • the substituted hydroquinone will be an active developer. However, the activity of the substituted hydroquinone will depend upon its desired use and may be negligible.
  • iodohydroquinones useful in this invention may be synthesized as shown by the following typical prepara- 4 tion of 6-iodo-2,3,S-trimethylhydroquinone, Compound III.
  • a dispersion was prepared by adding a solution of 0.5 g. of 1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-3-[3-(2,4-di-amylphenoxyacetamido)benzamido]-5-pyrazolone and 0.1 g. of Compound I in 0.26 ml. of tricresyl phosphate plus 3 ml. of ethyl acetate to a mixture of 22 ml. of 10 percent bone gelatin and 2 ml. of 5 percent propylated naphthalene sulfonate. This mixture was milled 5 times in a colloid mill, chilled, and dried. A solution of 1.83 g. of this dried dispersion in 21 ml.
  • Coating A medium speed silver bromoiodide emulsion containing .250 g. of silver, and coated on film support (Coating A).
  • Coating B similar to A but without the inhibitor-releasing hydroquinone
  • Coating C similar to A but with 2-methyl-5-octadecylhydroquinone replacing the inhibitor-releasing hydroquinone
  • Coating A showed about 10 percent reduction in contrast compared to the controls at equal speed. Traces of line exposures processed similarly showed improved sharpness in Coating A but not in the controls. Both of these results can be attributed to imagewise release of inhibitor in coating A.
  • EXAMPLE II Using coatings similar to those prepared for Example I and a low potential developer containing 22.5 g./l. of sodium sulfite, 11.6 g./l. of sodium hydroquinone monosulfonate, 17.0 g./l. of sodium carbonate, and 1.5 g./l. of potassium bromide at pH 12.0, a silver image was developed which showed sharper images when Compound I was present in the coatings.
  • EXAMPLE V A coating was prepared using emulsions similar to those of Example IV by coating a blue sensitized layer containing yellow coupler over a red sensitized layer containing cyan coupler with an intervening layer containing yellow colloidal silver. Using an Ektachrome reversal process with a first developer like the check developer of Example 111, no masking effect was noted in the cyan layer as a function of exposure in the blue sensitive top layer. When the developer of Example IV containing 0.9 g./l.
  • the iodo developer compounds of our invention can be incorporated in an ordinary photographic silver halide emulsion, or colloidal dispersion of a water-permeable hydrophilic colloid suitable for preparing an undercoat or an overcoat for such silver halide emulsion, by mixing a solution or dispersion of the developer compound with the silver halide emulsion, or dispersion of hydrophilic colloid, prior to coating.
  • an iodo developer can be made up as an oil dispersion by stirring a solution of 10 grams of the iodo developing agent into 40 grams of warm tricresyl phosphate, and then mixing this solution with 100 grams of a 10 percent aqueous gelatin solution containing 10 ccs.
  • the resulting dispersion can then be homogenized by passing for 5 times through a colloid mill to produce a homogeneous colloid dispersion.
  • Solvents other than tricresyl phosphate can be employed, including any of the crystalloidal compounds described in Jelley and Vittum US. Patent 2,322,027, issued June 15, 1943.
  • the resulting colloidal dispersion can then be added to an ordinary silver halide emulsion, or a dispersion of a water-permeable hydrophilic colloid, adapted for preparation of an undercoat or overcoat for such silver halide emulsion.
  • the iodo developing agents of our invention can be adapted for addition to a liquid silver halide emulsion or colloidal dispersion by other means as well. Suitable methods will depend largely upon the solubility characteristics, particularly in water or polar solvents, of the particular precursors in question.
  • Suitable supports comprise any of the well known supporting materials, such as cellulose ester film base (erg. cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, etc.), polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate and other polyesters, paper, polycarbonates, etc.
  • the photographic elements of our invention comprising a photographic iodo development agent either in the photographic silver halide emulsion layer, or layer contiguous thereto, or both, can then be exposed to an original or negative and developed by merely treating the exposed emulsion layer with an alkaline activator bath.
  • Typical activator baths comprise, for example, an aqueous solution of an alkaline material, such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, mixtures of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfite, etc.
  • Suitable baths can comprise, for example, an aqueous solution containing about 1 percent sodium hydroxide and 5 percent sodium sulfite.
  • a bath of the latter type is quite suitable for developing an exposed emulsion layer in about 30 seconds when the activator bath is at about 68 F.
  • Modifications can easily be made in the activator baths without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
  • an aqueous solution comprising about 4 percent of sodium carbonate and 5 percent of sodium sulfite produces development in about 30 seconds at 68 F.
  • Another aqueous activator solution comprising 2 percent sodium hydroxide and 5 percent sodium sulfite produces useful photographic images in a few seconds when heated at F.
  • Particularly useful activator solutions have a pH of at least about 9.0 and preferably of at least about 10.5.
  • the activator solutions of the present invention can be applied to an exposed photographic element in any number of known ways, such as by dipping, spraying, or other suitable surface applications. If desired, a thickener can be added to the activator solution to increase the viscosity of the composition and make it more adaptable for continuous processing. Viscous compositions can then be removed by squeegeeing or water spraying. The photographic element can then be stabilized by conventional fixation or stabilization, such as by sodium thiosulfate.
  • concentration of the iodo developers used in our invention will vary, chemical compound involved and the location of the compound within the photographic element. That is, if the iodo developer is incorporated within the silver halide emulsion undergoing development, it may be desirable to use a somewhat different concentration than would be used if the iodo developers were incorporated in a layer contiguous to the photographic silver halide emulsion.
  • a useful concentration of iodo developer for incorporation in the emulsion is from about 0.01 to 4.0 moles per mole of silver halide.
  • a particularly useful range is from about 0.1 to 2.0 moles per mole of silver depending upon the particular halide, with especially useful results 'being obtained within the range of about 0.4 to 1.0 mole per mole of silver halide.
  • concentrations of iodo developer can be tolerated without adverse effects.
  • a particularly useful effect of our invention is that even when incorporated within the silver halide emulsion, the iodo developers have little or no desensitizing effects. In many cases, this is not true where developing agents, per so, are incorporated within the silver halide emulsion layers.
