No. 78,916.
- the 1-aryl-3-pyrazolidinone compounds having a superadditive development effect with hydroxylamine developing agents can be represented by the following general formula:
- a process of making photographic records which comprises treating a photographic material having layers containing developable silver salts with an aqueous alkaline solution in the presence of a hydroxylamine developing agent and an 1-aryl-3-pyrazolidinone compound is described above.
- the invention also includes developer compositions comprising in addition to a hydroxylamine developing agent, an l-aryl-3-pyrazolidinone compound as described.
- hydroxylamine developing agent it is intended to embrace hydroxylamine itself as well as derivatives thereof as described above.
- the 1-aryl-3-pyrazolidinones of use according to the present invention may be added to the developing bath or to the emulsion or to both simultaneously.
- Developer compositions that comprise the superadditive developing agents according to the present invention may comprise in addition thereto any of the common ingredients employed in developing compositions e.g. alkalies such as sodium hydroxyde, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, trisodium phosphate, etc., silver halide solvents such as sodium thiosulphate, preservatives such as sulphites, bisulphites, metabisulphites and acids such as 'boric acid, and citric acid.

- silver halide solvents such as sodium thiosulphate
- preservatives such as sulphites, bisulphites, metabisulphites and acids such as 'boric acid, and citric acid.
- developer composition may comprise potassium bromide and watersoftening agents such as polyphosphates and derivatives of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, antifoggants such as benzotriazole, S-nitrobenzotriazole and 6-nitrobenzimidazole, and wetting agents as well as other compounds known in the photographic development technique such as development restrainers and development accelerators.
- potassium bromide and watersoftening agents such as polyphosphates and derivatives of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid
- antifoggants such as benzotriazole, S-nitrobenzotriazole and 6-nitrobenzimidazole
- wetting agents as well as other compounds known in the photographic development technique such as development restrainers and development accelerators.
- the ratio of hydroxylamine developing agent to l-aryl- 3-pyrazolidinone compound used in the present invention can be chosen in such a way that the combination is suited for the development of all kinds of materials including materials having silver chloride emulsion layers of low sensitivity as Well as materials having highly sensitive silver bromo-iodide emulsion layers. This ratio may vary within wide limits and also depends on the particular hydroxylamine developing agent used. In most cases the ratio is chosen in such a way that the amount of the hydroxylamine developing agent strongly outweghts the 1-aryl-3-pyrazolidinone compound.
- a strong superadditive effect is obtained by using an amount of 0.05 millimole to 10 millimole, preferably from 0.3 millimole to 6 millimole, of 1-aryl-3-pyraZolidinone to an amount of 10 to 100 millimole of hydroxylamine developing agent, per litre of developing composition.
- an amount of 0.05 millimole to 10 millimole preferably from 0.3 millimole to 6 millimole
- 1-aryl-3-pyraZolidinone to an amount of 10 to 100 millimole of hydroxylamine developing agent, per litre of developing composition.
- larger amounts of said 1-aryl-3-pyrazolidinone compounds can be used, although the superadditive effect obtained with higher concentrations is not more considerable.
- novel combination of developing agents of the invention may be used in conventional or wet development of silver halide emulsions, in diffusion transfer processes, both dye and silver, in such photographic processes known as stabilization processing wherein it is desired to eliminate or minimize the need for washing or stabilizng operatons in liquid baths subsequent to the formation of the silver print, etc.
- an exposed silver halide emulsion is treated with a liquid processing composition while in superposed relationship with an image-receiving material.
- the exposed silver halide is developed to silver and the unexposed silver halide is converted into a complex silver salt which is transferred to the image-receiving material and there reduced to silver to form a positive print.
- the processing composition normally includes a silver halide solvent, such as sodium thiosulphate, which forms with silver halide a soluble complex as is well known in the art of forming silver images by transfer, and may also include a film-forming material such as sodium cal-boxymethyl cellulose or hyroxyethyl cellulose, starch or gum for increasing the viscosity of the composition, as, for instance, in the case of in-camera silver complex diffusion transfer processing.
- a silver halide solvent such as sodium thiosulphate
- a film-forming material such as sodium cal-boxymethyl cellulose or hyroxyethyl cellulose, starch or gum for increasing the viscosity of the composition, as, for instance, in the case of in-camera silver complex diffusion transfer processing.
- the developing agents of use according to the invention may be employed in solution or they may be initially incorporated in a layer of the photosensitive material, e.g. a silver halide emulsion layer or other colloid layer in water-permeable relationship therewith. In silver complex diffusion transfer processes they may also be incorporated in a layer of the image-receiving material which, during processing, is in supperposed relationship with the photosensitive silver halide material.
- the developing agents When the developing agents are incorporated into the materials to be processed it is possible to limit the processing liquid to a simple aqueous alkaline solution. It is also possible, of course, to incorporate only the 1-aryl-3-pyrazolidinone developing agents into the materials to be processed and to employ the hydroxylamine developing agent in the processing liquid or vice versa.
