Definitions

  • This invention relates to a photographic element, and the preparatory process therefor, containing a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion stabilized against the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiation and, more particular- 1y, to said element stabilized by the incorporation therein of certain naphthotriazoles.
  • UV absorbers Many and varied compounds have been used as ultraviolet absorbers. Criteria for acceptable absorbers include non-diifusibility, freedom from color, inertness, compatibility and, of course, good ultraviolet absorption and stability to ultraviolet. Such compounds have been used either incorporated into the silver halide emulsion layer or in a layer superior but contiguous thereto. Among the methods for accomplishing such incorporation is a solvent-dispersion technique in which the ultraviolet absorber compound is dissolved in an organic plasticizer which is, in turn, intimately blended into an aqueous gelatin solution. This procedure, however, has certain shortcomings, chief among which is a decrease in the light stability of the incorporated absorber compounds.
  • R, R and R each preferably represents hydrogen or an alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, at least one of the groups R, R and R containing at least mism of less than 250 A. may also be present. These insaid groups being 3 to 24 and preferably being 4 to 16. Other non-chromophoric substituents with a bathochromism of less than 250A. may also be present. These include halogen, preferably chlorine, carboxy, carbalkoxy, cyan, sulfamyl (sulfonamide), carbanyl (carboxamido), etc.
  • Substituted alkyls may also be used as, for example, hydroalkyl, haloalkyl, cyanalkyl, alkoxyalkyl and lactam methylene. Details as to specific substituents can be found in the co-pending application of Catino and Strobel, Ser. No. 504,206, filed Oct. 23, 1965, now abandoned, and in corresponding French Pat. 1,497,191 issued Aug. 28, 1967.
  • the general method of preparation of these compounds involved the diazotizing and coupling of an orthoamino phenol to an amino naphthalene or the diazotizing and coupling of an o-nitronaphthylaminc to a substituted phenol in such a manner that the coupling is either ortho to the amino group of the naphtho ring or ortho to the hydroxy group of the phenol.
  • compositions of this invention include: 2 (2-hydroxy-5-t-octylphenyl)naphtho(1,2-d)triazole,
  • A represents a naphthalene ring bound by 2 adjacent carbon atoms to two nitrogen atoms of the triazole ring and B represents the phenyl radical containing a hydroxyl group ortho to the nitrogen atom of the triazole ring to which the phenyl radical is linked,.the col-. umns below list other substituents suitable for the compositions of this invention.
  • famyl naphtho G-N ,N-dimethylsul- (2-hydroxy-3,5'-ditertiaryamyl)phenyliamyl naphtha.
  • E-cyano naphtho (2'-hydroxy-3 ,5 -ditertiaryamyl)phenyl.
  • fi-methoxy naphtho (2"hydroxy-3,5-ditertiaryamyl)aphenyl.
  • the compounds are incorporated into the emulsion layer or into a layer contiguous therewith by the solvent dispersion procedure as discussed previously.
  • a representative system uses high-boiling, water-immiscible organic plasticizers.
  • the plasticizer system containing the ultraviolet absorber, and such additives as desired or required, is dispersed in an aqueous gelatin solution with the aid of an emulsifier to produce a finely divided, non-crystalline form of a non-diffusable ultraviolet absorber.
  • the gelatin layers were prepared by adding 15 grams of the above absorber dispersion (containing 1.2 grams of the ultraviolet absorber) to 200 ml. of a 2.5% gelatin solution containing 5 ml. of saponin and applying this solution to aclear film support such that the dry coating thickness was 4 to 5 microns. These clear gelatin layers were processed through the solutions normally employed in color print work.
  • Sections 1 x /2" were cut from the clear film and superposed on the unexposed color print paper which had been processed in the normal manner. These absorber hours in the Atlas Fade-Ometer and subjected to the ultraviolet radiation as heretofore explained. The yellow discoloration resulting from ultraviolet degradation of unused color former was again determined by reflection density measurements. In addition the loss in yellow dye covered strips were then exposed for ten hours in an Atlas 5 density was determined by similar yellow dye density Fade-Ometer to the radiation of a single enclosed violet measurements with correction made for the yellow stain carbon arc in which 20.3% of the emitted radiation is in developed. Results are tabulated below.
  • Example 9 the sample containing the preferred compound of this invention [2-(2'-hydroxy-3',5-ditertiaryamylphenyl)naphthotriazole], there is a twofold decrease in the amount of yellow stain developed on exposure to ultraviolet radiation in comparison with those samples containing the absorber compounds of the prior art (Examples 11 and 12).
  • the loss in yellow dye density in the aforesaid Example 9 is 1.5 to 2.7 times less than the corresponding loss in the samples compounded with the absorbers of the prior art. Since these EXAMPLES 8- 14 These examples illustrate the suitability of the ultraviolet absorber compounds of this invention when incorporated into one of the color forming layers of a multilayer color photographic element.
  • Dispersions containing the ultraviolet absorber compound with a cyan color former were prepared following a procedure analogous to that described in Examples 1-7 above with both the ultraviolet absorber and the cyan color former dissolved in the solvents.
  • the dispersion composition was constituted as listed below.
  • Each dispersion was, in turn, admixed with red sensitized silver halide emulsions containing the necessary coating finals and this mixture was then coated over the yellow and magenta dye-forming layers on a paper support to form a multilayer color photographic element. After the element was given red, green and blue separation exposure and processed, it was then positioned for 10 results are measures of the intra-layer and extra-layer ultraviolet degradation effects respectively, they are indicative of the protective ability of the naphthotriazoles when either intimately admixed in the emulsion layer or applied as an exterior coating over the emulsion layer.
  • a photographic element comprising a support having thereon at least one photographic silver halide emulsion layer and a superposed gelatin layer, at least one of said layers containing a hydrophobic compound having the formula:
  • R, R and R each represents a member selected from the class consisting of hydrogen, halogen, alkyl groups having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl, haloalkyl, cyanoalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, cyano, carbalkoxy, alkyl sulfonyl, sulfamyl, N-alkyl sulfamyl, N-phenyl sulfamyl, N-heterocyclic sulfamyLcarbamyl, N-alkyl carbamyl, N phenyl carbamyl, N heterocyclic canbamyl and lactam methylene groups, at least one of the groups R, R and R containing at least 3. carbon atoms.
