Definitions

  • R R R and R each represent alkyl groups, at least one of said R and R being an alkyl group having a sulfo group; Z and Z represent the non-metallic atomic groups necessary to complete a benzimidazole nucleus; X represents an acid anion and p represents an integer of 1 or 2, p being 1 when said dye forms an intermolecular salt; and at least one sensitizing dye represented by the following second Formula:
  • This invention relates to a spectrally sensitized silver halide photographic emulsion, in particular, one which is supersensitized in the green region.
  • spectral sensitization is a very important technique employed in the making of a silver halide photographic emulsion, in particular, a color photosensitive material.
  • the spectral sensitivity depends on the chemical structure and property of the sensitizing dye used and the property of the silver halide used, for example, halogen composition, crystal habit, chemical ripening, pAg and pH.
  • the spectral sensitivity also depends on the various additives to the emulsion, many of which decrease the spectral sensitivity. In the case of an emulsion used in the making of an incorporated type color photographic material, the sensitivity is decreased by the introduction of a coupler. This efiect 3,666,480 Patented May 30, 1972 is a large obstacle in the making of photographic material.
  • This object can be accomplished by the use of a supersensitized silver halide photographic emulsion wherein at least one sensitizing dye represented by the following General Formula I and at least one sensitizing dye represented by the following General Formula II is added to the emulsion:
  • R and R being an alkyl group having a sulfo group
  • Z and Z represent the non-metallic atoms necessary to complete a benzimidazole nucleus
  • X represents an acid anion group
  • p represents an integer of 1 or 2, p being 1 when said dye forms an intermolecular salt.
  • the spectrally sensitized silver halide photographic emulsion can advantageously be used in combination with the oxacarbocyanine dye disclosed in Japanese patent publication No. 4936/68 or with the hemicyanine dye disclosed in Belgian Patent No. 724,467.
  • R R R R and R the alkyl groups may be, for example, methyl, ethyl propyl, acetoxypropyl, hydroxyethyl, allyl, benzyl, 'y-sulfopropyl, 'y-sulfobutyl, 5-sulfo butyl, 2-(3-su1fopropoxy) ethyl, 2-[2-(3-sulfopropoxy) ethoxy] ethyl or Z-hydroxy-l-sulfopropyl groups.
  • Examples of X and X are chlorine, bromine, iodine, perchlorate, thiocyanate, p-toluene sulfonate, benzenesulfonate, methyl sulfonate and ethyl sulfate ions.
  • One feature of the invention lies in the substituent of the l -forming nucleus in Formula II.
  • the substituent f the invention is useful for raising the sensitivity in the 515-530 my range in connection with the property of the dye I aggregate and to obtain a suitable spectral sensi tivity.
  • the dye of Formula I is the well-known benzimidazolocarbocyanine.
  • the nucleus substituent of said benzimidazole includes those mentioned in Japanese patent publication Nos. 4936/68, 2884/68, 2530/69 and 16589/69.
  • the compounds of Formula II can also readily be synthesized by known methods such as those disclosed in United States Patent No. 2,503,776.
  • a typical method for the synthesis of compound HA is as follows: 850 mg. of 6 methyl-Z-ethylmercapto-l-ethylquinolinium ethyl sulfate and 800 mg. of anhydro-S-carbomethoxy-Z-methyl- 3 (y-sulfopropyl)-benzothiazolium hydroxide are dissolved in ml. of ethyl alcohol, to which is added 3.5 ml. of triethylamine, and heated for 4 hours with refluxing.
  • the dye used in this invention may be added to the emulsion in the form of a solution in water or in a watersoluble organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, pyridine, acetone or Cellosolve.
  • the sensitizing dyes represented by Formulae I and II may be added as individual solutions or as a mixed solution. Dissolving may be effected by ultrasonic wave agitation.
  • the amount of each dye may be varied with the emulsion employed. Ordinarily, the amount of both dyes is preferably from 1X10- mole to 1X10 mole per 1 mole of silver halide.
  • the weight proportion of the dye of Formula I to the dye of Formula II varies from :1 to 1:2, and preferably from 4:1 to 2: 1. This proportion may also be varied depending on the use of other additives in the emulsion.
  • the silver halide emulsions which may be used are, for example, silver iodobromide, silver bromide and silver chlorobromide.
  • a silver iodobromide emulsion is advantageous to use, because its particle size is not particularly restricted.
  • Gelatino-silver halide emulsions are mainly used, but binders other than gelatin may, of course, be used, for example, polyvinyl alcohol, alginate polymers, polyvinyl imidazole, polyvinylpyrrolidone and mixtures thereof with gelatin.
  • the silver halide emulsion of the present invention is coated onto a suitable support, depending on its use, for example, baryta paper, cellulose triacetate film, polyethylene terephthalate film, plastic films resin-coated paper or synthetic paper.
  • the sample was cut into strips and subjected to light wedge exposure through a yellow filter of No. K-12 (trademartk) using a sensitometer having a light source color temperature of 5400 K. It was then developed at 20 C. for 12 minutes with the following developer composition:
  • the sample was passed through a first fixing solution, a bleaching solution and a second fixing solution and washed with water to obtain a magenta image.
  • the green filter density was measured with an S-type (trademark) densitometer manufactured by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.
  • S-type (trademark) densitometer manufactured by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.
  • R R R and R each represent alkyl groups, at least one of said R and R being an alkyl group having a sulfo group Z and Z represent the non-metallic atomic groups necessary to complete a benzimidazole nucleons;
  • X represents an acid anion and p represents an integer of 1 or 2, p being 1 when said dye forms an intermolecular salt; and at least one sensitizing dye represented by the following second formula:
  • R represent alkyl groups, at least one of said R wherein R and 2;, have the same meaning as in claim 1, wherein R represents a methyl or ethyl group, and wherein n represents 2, 3 or 4.
  • iomcrnomcmnsoi iomcrnomcmnsoi and at least one sensitizing dye represented by the following formula:
  • R R Z and n have the same meaning as in claim 3.
