Definitions
- This invention relates to novel cyanine dyes and novel photographic emulsions containing such dyes.
- novel dyes of this invention are especially useful as electron acceptors and spectral sensitizers for direct positive photographic silver halide emulsions.
- direct positive images can be obtained with certain types of photographic silver halide emulsions.
- photographic emulsions have been proposed for this purpose comprising an electron acceptor and silver halide grains that have been fogged with a combination of a reducing agent and a compound of a metal more electropositive than silver.
- One of the advantages of such direct positive emulsions it that the high-light areas of the images obtained with these materials are substantially free from fog.
- known materials of this type have not exhibited the high speed required for many applications of photography.
- such known materials have not shown the desired selective sensitivity, especially to radiation in the green to red region of the spectrum. It is evident, therefore, that there is need in the art for improved direct positive photographic materials having both good speed and desirable sensitivity to longer wavelength radiations.

- cyanine dyes defined by Formula II above are conveniently prepared, for example, by heating a mixture of 1) a compound of Formula IV above and (2) a compound of the formula:
- novel and improved direct positive photographic silver halide emulsions are prepared by incorporating one or more of the cyanine dyes of the invention into a suitable fogged silver halide emulsion.
- the emulsion can be fogged in any suitable manner, such as by light or with chemical fogging agents, e.g., stannous chloride, formaldehyde, thiourea dioxide, and the like.
- the emulsion may be fogged by the addition thereto of a reducing agent, such as thiourea dioxide, and a compound of a metal more electropositive than silver, such as a gold salt, for example, potassium chloroaurate, as described in British Pat. 723,019 (1955).
- Typical reducing agents that are useful in providing such emulsions include stannous salts, e.g., stannous chloride hydrazine, sulfur compounds such as thiourea dioxide, phosphonium salts such as tetra(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride, and the like.
- Typical useful metal compounds that are more electropositive than silver include gold, rhodium, platinum, palladium, iridium, etc., preferably in the form of soluble salts thereof, e.g., potassium chloroaurate, auric chloride, (NHQ PdCI and the like.
- reducing agent and metal compound e.g., metal salt
- concentrations of reducing agent and metal compound can be varied over a considerable range.
- good results are obtained using about .05 to 40 mg. reducing agent per mole of silver halide and 0.5 to 15.0 mg. metal compound per mole of silver halide. Best results are obtained at lower concentration levels of both reducing agent and metal compound.
- the concentration of added dye can vary widely, e.g., from about 50 to 2000 mg. and preferably from about 400 to 800 mg. per mole of silver halide in the direct positive emulsions.
- fogged refers to emulsions containing silver halide grains which produce a density of at least 0.5 when developed, without exposure, for minutes at 68 F. in developer Kodak DK-SO having the composition set forth below, when the emulsion is coated at a silver coverage of 50 mg. to 500 mg. per square foot.
- the dyes of this invention are also advantageously incorporated in direct positive emulsions of the type in which a silver halide grain has a water-insoluble silver salt center and an outer shell composed of a fogged waterinsoluble silver salt that develops to silver without exposure.
- the dyes of the invention are incorporated,
- the shell of the grains in such emulsions may be prepared by precipitating over the core grains a light-sensitive water-insoluble silver salt that can be fogged and which fog is removable by bleaching.
- the shell is of sufficient thickness to prevent access of the developer used in processing the emulsions of the invention to the core.
- the silver salt shell is surface fogged to make it developable to metallic silver with conventional surface image developing compositions.
- the silver salt of the shell is suflieiently fogged to produce a density of at least about 0.5 when developed for 6 minutes at 68 F. in Developer A below when the emulsion is coated at a silver coverage of 100 mg. per square foot,
- Such togging can be eifected by chemically sensitizing to fog with the sensitizing agents described for chemically sensitizing the core emulsion, high intensity light and the like fogging means Well known to those skilled in the art. While the core need not be sensitized to fog, the shell is fogged.
- Foggin-g by means of a reduction sensitizer, a noble metal salt such as gold salt plus a reduction sensitizer, a sulfur sensitizer, high pH and low pAg silver halide precipitating conditions, and the like can be suitably utilized.
- the shell the silver salt core, the core emulsion is first chemically or physically treated by methods previously described in the prior art to produce centers which promote the deposition of photolytic silver, i.e., latent image nucleating centers. Such centers can be obtained by various techniques as described herein. Chemical sensitization techniques of the type described by Antoine Hautot and Henri Sauvenier in Science et Industries Photographiques, Vol. XXVIII, January 1957, pages 1 to 23 and January 1957, pages 57 to 65 are particularly useful.
- Such chemical sensitization includes three major classes, namely, gold or noble metal sensitization, sulfur sensitization, such as by a labile sulfur compound, and reduction sensitization, e.g., treatment of the silver halide with a strong reducing agent which introduces small specks of metallic silver into the silver salt crystal or grain.
- the dyes of this invention are highly useful electron acceptors in high speed direct positive emulsions comprising fogged silver halide grains and a compound which accepts electrons, as described and claimed in Illingsworth US. patent application Ser.

LXXJX, 1949, pages 330-338..

This application is a division of our copending application Ser. No. 705,595 filed Feb. 15, 1968, now US. Pat. 3,598,595.
This invention relates to novel cyanine dyes and novel photographic emulsions containing such dyes. The novel dyes of this invention are especially useful as electron acceptors and spectral sensitizers for direct positive photographic silver halide emulsions.
It is known that direct positive images can be obtained with certain types of photographic silver halide emulsions. For example, photographic emulsions have been proposed for this purpose comprising an electron acceptor and silver halide grains that have been fogged with a combination of a reducing agent and a compound of a metal more electropositive than silver. One of the advantages of such direct positive emulsions it that the high-light areas of the images obtained with these materials are substantially free from fog. However, known materials of this type have not exhibited the high speed required for many applications of photography. Also, such known materials have not shown the desired selective sensitivity, especially to radiation in the green to red region of the spectrum. It is evident, therefore, that there is need in the art for improved direct positive photographic materials having both good speed and desirable sensitivity to longer wavelength radiations.
It is, accordingly, an object of this invention to provide a new class of cyanine dyes. Another object of this invention is to provide novel cyanine dyes which function as effective electron acceptors and spectral sensitizers in photographic silver halide emulsions. A further object of this invention is to provide novel photographic silver halide emulsions, including direct positive photographic emulsions, containing one or more of the novel dyes of the invention. Another object of this invention is to provide photographic emulsions containing novel cyanine dyes and a photographic color former. Still another object of this invention is to provide photographic elements comprising a support having thereon at least one layer of the novel emulsions of the invention. Other objects of this invention will be apparent from this disclosure and the appended claims.
We have now found that certain cyanine dyes derived from l-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazines and l-substituted pyrrolo[2,3-'b]quinoxalines are outstanding electron acceptors and spectral sensitizers for direct positive type of photographic silver halide emulsions. They provide superior reversal systems, especially with fogged silver halide emulsions, that are characterized by both good speed and desired selective sensitivity to radiation in the green to red region of the spectrum with maximum sensitivity occurring in most cases in the region of about 500- 600 nm. The images produced with these new direct positive emulsions are clear and sharp and of excellent contrast.

x wherein D, R R and R are as previously defined, in approximately equimolar proportions, in a solvent medium, such as acetic anhydride, containing a strong mineral acid such as perchloric acid.

In accordance with the invention, novel and improved direct positive photographic silver halide emulsions are prepared by incorporating one or more of the cyanine dyes of the invention into a suitable fogged silver halide emulsion. The emulsion can be fogged in any suitable manner, such as by light or with chemical fogging agents, e.g., stannous chloride, formaldehyde, thiourea dioxide, and the like. The emulsion may be fogged by the addition thereto of a reducing agent, such as thiourea dioxide, and a compound of a metal more electropositive than silver, such as a gold salt, for example, potassium chloroaurate, as described in British Pat. 723,019 (1955).
Typical reducing agents that are useful in providing such emulsions include stannous salts, e.g., stannous chloride hydrazine, sulfur compounds such as thiourea dioxide, phosphonium salts such as tetra(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride, and the like. Typical useful metal compounds that are more electropositive than silver include gold, rhodium, platinum, palladium, iridium, etc., preferably in the form of soluble salts thereof, e.g., potassium chloroaurate, auric chloride, (NHQ PdCI and the like.
Useful concentrations of reducing agent and metal compound (e.g., metal salt) can be varied over a considerable range. As a general guideline, good results are obtained using about .05 to 40 mg. reducing agent per mole of silver halide and 0.5 to 15.0 mg. metal compound per mole of silver halide. Best results are obtained at lower concentration levels of both reducing agent and metal compound.
The concentration of added dye can vary widely, e.g., from about 50 to 2000 mg. and preferably from about 400 to 800 mg. per mole of silver halide in the direct positive emulsions.
As used herein, and in the appended claims, fogged refers to emulsions containing silver halide grains which produce a density of at least 0.5 when developed, without exposure, for minutes at 68 F. in developer Kodak DK-SO having the composition set forth below, when the emulsion is coated at a silver coverage of 50 mg. to 500 mg. per square foot.
Water to make 1.0 l.
The dyes of this invention are also advantageously incorporated in direct positive emulsions of the type in which a silver halide grain has a water-insoluble silver salt center and an outer shell composed of a fogged waterinsoluble silver salt that develops to silver without exposure. The dyes of the invention are incorporated,
preferably, in the outer shell of such emulsions. 'Ihese emulsions can be prepared in various ways, such as those described in Berriman' US. patent application Ser. No. 448,467, filed Apr. 15, 1965. For example, the shell of the grains in such emulsions may be prepared by precipitating over the core grains a light-sensitive water-insoluble silver salt that can be fogged and which fog is removable by bleaching. The shell is of sufficient thickness to prevent access of the developer used in processing the emulsions of the invention to the core. The silver salt shell is surface fogged to make it developable to metallic silver with conventional surface image developing compositions. The silver salt of the shell is suflieiently fogged to produce a density of at least about 0.5 when developed for 6 minutes at 68 F. in Developer A below when the emulsion is coated at a silver coverage of 100 mg. per square foot, Such togging can be eifected by chemically sensitizing to fog with the sensitizing agents described for chemically sensitizing the core emulsion, high intensity light and the like fogging means Well known to those skilled in the art. While the core need not be sensitized to fog, the shell is fogged. Foggin-g by means of a reduction sensitizer, a noble metal salt such as gold salt plus a reduction sensitizer, a sulfur sensitizer, high pH and low pAg silver halide precipitating conditions, and the like can be suitably utilized. The shell the silver salt core, the core emulsion is first chemically or physically treated by methods previously described in the prior art to produce centers which promote the deposition of photolytic silver, i.e., latent image nucleating centers. Such centers can be obtained by various techniques as described herein. Chemical sensitization techniques of the type described by Antoine Hautot and Henri Sauvenier in Science et Industries Photographiques, Vol. XXVIII, January 1957, pages 1 to 23 and January 1957, pages 57 to 65 are particularly useful. Such chemical sensitization includes three major classes, namely, gold or noble metal sensitization, sulfur sensitization, such as by a labile sulfur compound, and reduction sensitization, e.g., treatment of the silver halide with a strong reducing agent which introduces small specks of metallic silver into the silver salt crystal or grain.
The dyes of this invention are highly useful electron acceptors in high speed direct positive emulsions comprising fogged silver halide grains and a compound which accepts electrons, as described and claimed in Illingsworth US. patent application Ser. No. 609,794, filed Jan. 17, 1967, and titled Photographic Reversal Materials 111, Th'e fogged silver halide grains of such emulsions are such that a test portion thereof, when coated as a photographic silver halide emulsion on a support to give a maximum density of at least about one upon processing for six minutes at about 68 F. in Kodak DK-50 developer, has a maximum density which is at least about 30% greater than the maximum density of an identical coated test portion which is processed for six minutes at about 68 F. in Kodak DK-50 developer after being bleached for about 10 minutes at about 68 F. in a bleach composition of:
Water to 1 liter.
The grains of such emulsions will lose at least about 25% and generally at least about 40% of their fog when bleached for ten minutes at 68 F. in a potassium cyanide bleach composition as described herein. This fog loss can be illustrated by coating the silver halide grains as a photographic silver halide emulsion on a support to give a maximum density of at least 1.0 upon processing for six minutes at about 68 F. in Kodak DK-SO developer and comparing the density of such a coating with an identical coating which is processed for six minutes at 68 F. in Kodak D K-SO developer after being bleached for about 10 minutes at 68 F. in the potassium cyanide bleach composition. As already indicated, the maximum density of the unbleached coating will be at least 30% greater, generally at least 60% greater, than the maximum density of the bleached coating.
The silver halides employed in the preparation of the photographic emulsions useful herein include any of the photographic silver halides as exemplified by silver bromide, silver iodide, silver chloride, silver chlorobromide, silver bromoiodide, silver chlorobromide, and the like. Silver halide grains having an average grain size less than about one micron, preferably less than about 0.5 micron, give particularly good results. The silver halide grains can be regular and can be any suitable shape such as cubic or octahedral, as described and claimed in lllingsworth US. patent application Ser. No. 609,778, filed Jan. 17, 1967, and titled Direct Positive Photographic Emulsions 1. Such grains advantageously have a rather uniform diameter frequency distribution, as described and claimed in lllingsworth U.S. patent application Ser. No. 609,790, filed Ian. 17, 1967, and titled Photographic Reversal Emulsions 11. For example, at least 95%, by weight, of the photographic silver halide grains can have a diameter which is within about 40%, preferably within about 30% of the mean grain diameter. Mean grain diameter, i.e., average grain size, can be determined using conventional methods, e.g., as shown in an article by Trivelli and Smith entitled Empirical Relations Between Sensitometn'c and Size-Frequency Characteristics in Photographic Emulsion Series in The Photographic Journal, vol. LXXJX, 1949, pages 330-338.. The fogged silver halide grains in these direct-positive photographic emulsions of this invention produce a density of at least 0.5 when developed without exposure for five minutes at 68 F. in Kodak DK-50 developer when such an emulsion is coated at a coverage of 50 to about 500 mg. of silver per square foot of support. The preferred photographic silver halide emulsions comprise at least 50 mole percent bromide, the most preferred emulsions being silver bromoiodide emulsions, particularly those containing less than about ten mole percent iodide. The photographic silver halides can be coated at silver coverages in the range of about 50 to about 500 milligrams of silver per square foot of support.
In the preparation of the above photographic emulsions, the dyes of the invention are advantageously incorporated in the washed, finished silver halide emulsion and should, of course, be uniformly distributed throughout the emulsion. The methods of incorporating dyes and other addenda in emulsions are relatively simple and well known to those skilled in the art of emulsion making. For example, it is convenient to add them from solutions in appropriate solvents, in which case the solvent selected should be completely free from any deleterious effect on the ultimate light-sensitive materials. Methanol, isopropanol, pyridine, water, etc., alone or in admixtures, have proven satisfactory as solvents for this purpose. The type of silver halide emulsions that can be sensitized with the new dyes include any of those prepared with hydrophilic colloids that are known to be satisfactory for dispersing silver halides, for example, emulsions comprising natural materials such as gelatin, albumin, agar-agar, gum arabic, alginic acid, etc. and hydrophilic synthetic resins such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, cellulose ether-s, partially hydrolyzed cellulose acetate, and the like The binding agents for the emulsion layer of the photographic element can also contain dispersed polymerized vinyl compounds. Such compounds are disclosed, for example, in US.

The above prepared dye containing the desensitizing 3- ethyl-6-nitrobenzothiazole nucleus is photographically tested for its usefulness as an electron acceptor and spectral sensitizer for fogged direct positive photographic silver halide emulsions by the following procedure.
A gelatin silver bromoiodide emulsion (2.5) mole per cent of the halide being iodide) and having an average grain size of about 0.2 micron is prepared by adding an aqueous solution of potassium bromide and potassium iodide, and an aqueous solution of silver nitrate, simultaneously to a rapidly agitated aqueous gelatin solution at a temperature of 70 C., over a period of about 35 minutes. The emulsion is chill-set, shredded and washed by leaching with cold water in the conventional manner. The emulsion is reduction-gold fogged by first adding 0.2 mg. of thiourea dioxide per mole of silver and heating for 60 minutes at 65 C. and then adding 4.0 mg. of potassium chloroaurate per mole of silver and heating for 60 minutes at 65 C. The dye of the above example, 1,3 diethyl 6 nitro-3-pyrrolo[2,3-b]quinoxalinothiacarbocyanine p-toluenesulfonate, is then added to the above fogged emulsion in amount sufiicient to give a concentration of 0.08 gram of the dye per mole of silver. The resulting emulsion is coated on a cellulose acetate film support at a coverage of mg. of silver and 400 mg. of gelatin per square foot of support.
A sample of the coated support is then exposed on an Eastman Ib sensitometer using a tungsten light source and processed for 6 minutes at room temperature in Kodak D-l9 developer which has the following composition:
Water to make 1.0 liter.
then fixed, washed and dried. The results are listed in Table I hereinafter.

This result indicates that the dye compound of the above example is well suited to function as both an electron acceptor and spectral sensitizer. It thus provides excellent quality direct positive photographic silver halide emulsions.

The solid is collected and washed with water. After recrystallization from aqueous ethanol, the yield is 18.8 g. (44%), M.P. Ill-3 C.
EXAMPLE E 1 -butyl-7-chloro-3 -formylpyrrolo [2,3-b] quinoxaline CHO i C1 (CHz)aCHt 2,7-dichloro-3-methylquinoxaline (17.1 g., 1 mol.), butylamine (11.7 g., 1 m0l.+100%) and ethanol (40 ml.) are heated under reflux for 2 hrs. The ethanol is evaporated and the residue is diluted with ether. The solid is filtered 01f and rejected. Evaporation of the ether gives crude 2-butylamino-7-cl1loro 3 methylquinoxaline, to which is added a warm solution of phosphoryl chloride (37 g., 3 mol.) in dimethyl formamide (44 ml.). A vigorous reaction occurs. When the reaction subsides, the mixture is allowed to cool, then poured in 400 ml. of an ice/water mixture. 5 N NaOH (360 ml.) is added slowly, as more ice is added periodically to keep the mixture cool. The aqueous layer is decanted and the viscous residue digested with ethanol (50 ml.). After chilling, the solid is collected and washed with ethanol. After one recrystallization from dimethyl formamide, the yield is 4.56 g. (19%), M.P. 169-170 C.

Dimethyl formamide (100 ml. is added, then 2-p-tolyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline 1s added in portions with stirring. When evolution of hydrogen gas has stopped, the flask is cooled in an ice-bath as methyl p-toluenesulfonate (9.05 g., 1 mol.) is added in portions, keeping the temperature below 20. The mixture is stirred for 4 hours at room temperature.
The mixture is diluted with ice and water, and the solid collected and well washed with water. After recrystallization from aqueous acetic acid, the yield is 7.45 g. (57%) M.P. 145-6 C.
EXAMPLE I 2-anilino-3-methylpyrazine hydro-p-toluenesulfonate NH-Ph osoioiru 9 cm A mixture of 51.5 g. (1 mol.) of 2-chloro-3-methylpyrazine and 150 g. (4 mols.) of aniline is heated at reflux for 1.5 hours. The mixture is cooled and added to 1 l. of a 10% aqueous potassium carbonate solution. The resultant mixture is extracted three times with 200 m1. portions of benzene. The combined organic phase is washed with water, dried by filtration through anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and distilled rapidly. The fraction, M.P. 136153 C./0.9 mm., is dissolved in 100 ml. of tetrahydrofuran and treated with a solution of excess p-toluenesulfonic acid in 50 ml. of tetrahydrofuran. The resulting solid is collected on a filter, washed with tetrahydrofuran and dried to give 113.8 g. (80%) of a yellow solid, M.P. 190-193 C.
22 EXAMPLE K 3-formyl-1-phenylpyrrolo[2,3 -b] pyrazine CHO I Ph
To a pre-formed complex of 11.5 ml. (3 mols.) phosphorus oxychloride in 40 m1. of dimethyl formamide is added 17.7 g. (1 mol.) of 2-anilino-3-methylpyrazine hydro p-toluenesulfonate. The resulting solution is heated on a steam bath for 3 hours then poured into 750 ml. of ice water. A 5 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is added portionwise until the solution is strongly basic and the resultant suspension is heated at 60 C. for 15 minutes. After chilling, the solid is collected on a filter, washed with water and dried. After recrystallization from isopropyl alcohol, 2.89 g.

By substituting other dye compounds of the invention, as defined in Formulas I and II above, into the procedure of the above examples, similar fogged, direct positive photographic silver halide emulsions and photographic elements may be prepared.
The photographic silver halide emulsion and other layers present in the photographic elements made accord ing to the invention can be hardened with any suitable hardener, including aldehyde hardeners such as formaldehyde, and mucochloric acid, aziridine hardeners, hardeners which are derivatives of dioxane, oxypolysaccharides such as oxy starch or oxy plant gums, and the like. The emulsion layers can also contain additional additives, particularly those known to be beneficial in photographic emulsions, including, for example, lubricating materials, stabilizers, speed increasing materials, absorbing dyes, plasticizers, and the like. These photographic emulsions can also contain in some cases additional spectral sensitizing dyes. Furthermore, these emulsions can contain color forming couplers or can be developed in solutions containing couplers or other color generating materials. Among the useful color formers are the monomeric and polymeric color formers, e.g., pyrazolone color formers, as well as phenolic, heterocyclic and open chain couplers having a reactive methylene group. The color forming couplers can be incorporated into the direct positive photographic silver halide emulsion using any suitable technique, e.g., techniques of the type shown in Jelley et al. US. Pat. 2,322,027, issued June 15, 1943, Fierke et al. US. Pat. 2,801,171, issued July 30, 1957, Fisher U.S. Pats. 1,055,155 and 1,102,028, issued Mar. 4, 1913, and June 30, 1914, respectively, and Wilmanns US. Pat. 2,186,849 issued J an. 9, 1940. They can also be developed using incorporated developers such as polyhydroxybenzenes, aminophenols, 3-pyrazolidones, and the like.
Although the invention has been described in considerable detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention as described hereinabove, and as defined in the appended claims.
