Definitions
- Thionamides have been used in the past as antifoggants in silver halide emulsions. Such compounds generally contain at least one hydrogen atom on the amidic nitrogen and exist in tautomeric equilibria between the thione and sulfhydryl structure. However, these compounds have a propensity to desensitize fast silver halide emulsions and, therefore, are generally used in concentrations of less than 50 milligrams per mole of silver to prevent objectionable loss of emulsion sensitivity.
- a fog stabilizing amount of an acrylic or monocyclic thionamide, said thionamide containing at least one acid group which will confer a negative charge to the thionamide at a pH of 5 or below is incorporated into the silver halide emulsion of aphotographic element or in a layer contiguous to the silver halide emulsion.
- a photographic element comprising a support coated with at least one silver halide emulsion layer is developed in the presence of one of the previously described thionamides.
- the thionamide is present in the photographic element but it can be present elsewhere in the systeme.g., in the developer.
