  • the photographic silver halide emulsion must contain at least one sensitizing dye represented by the following general formula I:
  • R and R are each a member selected from the class consisting of an alkyl group having one to five carbon atoms and an alkyl group substituted by a member selected from the class consisting of hydroxyl, acetoxy, sulfate, carboxyl carboxyalkoxyl, sulpho, hydroxysulpho, alkoxy-sulphoalkoxy, m represents 1 or 2

  • R and R represent a substituted or an unsubstituted alkyl group
  • in represents 1 or 2
  • X represents an anion

  • the condensate of the above-mentioned substituted or unsubstituted polyhydroxybenzene and formaldehyde may be prepared by any conventional method for forming a novolaktype phenol-formaldehyde resin. While the preparation thereof is not particularly critical, such a material is generally prepared as follows. The polysubstituted hydroxybenzene is dispersed in water, and after adding concentrated hydrochloric acid and 37 percent formalin, the dispersion is stirred for 30 to 60 minutes at 100 C. Thereafter, if necessary, hydrochloric acid is added, followed by the continuation of heating and stirring. After the reaction is finished, the product is poured into cold water and the precipitate is collected and purified to provide the condensate.

  • Some of the sensitizing dyes of formula (1) when incorporated in photographic light-sensitive materials, have the drawback that their sensitivity is lowered during storage, but such a lowering storage can be remarkably prevented by incorporating the dye in the emulsion together with the formalin condensate in accordance with the present invention.
  • the concentration of the sensitizing dye of the present invention in the silver halide emulsion is preferably 0.002-0.2 g./mol. silver halide, and the concentration of the formalin condensate in the said emulsion is preferably 0.1-5.0 g./mol. silver halide.

  • the sensitizing dye may be added into the emulsion either before or after the addition of the formalin condensate, or a mixture of the sensitizing dye and the formalin condensate may be added into the emulsion. Further, they may be added into the emulsion not only before coating but also during ripening of the emulsion after washing.
