Definitions

  • Z and Z are non-metallic groups necessary to complete a benzimidazole nucleus
  • a and B are polymethylene groups or alkylpolymethylene groups.
  • M is a cation.
  • Preferred dyes are set out in the specification.
  • the present invention relates generallyto a photographic silver halide emulsion containing a novel sensitizing dye, and more particularly to a photographic silver halide emulsion containing an unsymmetrical benzimidazolocarbocyanine dye in whichthe substituents of-the nitrogen atoms-in both heterocyclic rings are sulfoalkyl groups.
  • a benzirnidazolocarbocyanine dye can provide a high spectral sensitivity to a silver halide emulsion, but the formation of fog is generally increased by the addition of such a dye.
  • Symmetrical benzimidazolocarbocyanine dyes having sulfoalkyl groups at the nitrogen atoms in both heterocyclic rings are disclosed in the specifications of U. 5. Pat. No. 2,912,329 andBelgian patents 648,981 and 669,308. However, unsymmetrical benzimidazolocarbocyanine dyes having sulfoalkyl groups at the nitrogen atoms in both heterocyclic groups thereof have never been known.
  • Z and Z each represent a non-metallic atomic group necessary to complete the benzimidazole nucleus;
  • a and B each represents a member selected from the group consisting of a 'polymethylene group, and-an alkylpolymethylene group; and
  • M represents a cation.

  • Preferred dyes and'the various-moities operable are set-out in the descriptive portion of the specification.

  • novel sensitizing dye represented by general formula -(I) may be prepared by reacting-an anilinovinyl intermediate compound having a sulfoalkyl ,group as a substituent of the (wherein Z and A are defined in connection with-general formula (I) with acetic anhydride in nitrobenzene, to provide an acetoanilidovinyl intermediate product, and condensing the intermediate product in the presence of an organic base, such as triethylamine, with an intermediate represented by general formula (III):
  • ether was added to the reaction product to precipitate the dye, which was recovered by filtration, washed with ether and then treated with an aqueous solution of potassium acetate to convert the dye into the potassium salt of the dye.

  • the dye is usually added to a photographic emulsion as a solution thereof in a solvent such as methanol or ethanol.
  • the amount of the sensitizing dye to be incorporated in the photographic emulsion may be varied within a very wide range, but for most commercial uses, it has been found that from 5 mg. to mg. per kilogram of emulsion, according to desired end result, is suitable.

  • EXAMPLE A photographic silver halide emulsion was prepared by adding the sensitizing dye of this invention mentioned above to a silver iodobromide emulsion (Agl AgBr 7 mol 93 mol). The photographic emulsion was applied to a triacetyl cellulose film and dried. The photographic light sensitive film was exposed to a lamp (color temperature 2,660 K.) and after development, the spectral sensitizing characteristics were measured by means of a diffraction grating spectrometer.
