- the above mentioned object of the invention can be accomplished by incorporating a new sensitizing dye represented by the following general formula (I) or (II) in a silver halide emulsion.
- Z represents an atomic group necessary for forming a benzene ring, the hydrogen atom of which may be substituted for by conventional substituents for benzimidazolo cyanine dyes.
- substituents in this case are those well known for benzimidazolocarbocyanines, such as halogen atoms, e.g.
- R and R represent the same or different alkyl groups, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and n-butyl groups, and substituted alkyl groups conventionally used as nitrogen substituents in benzimidazolo cyanine dyes, except a sulfoalkyl group, such as hydroxy alkyl (e.g. B-hydroxyethyl, -y-hydroxypropyl), acetoxyalkyl (e.g. B-acetoxyethyl, 'y-acetoxypropyl) carboxyalkyl (e.g.
- hydroxy alkyl e.g. B-hydroxyethyl, -y-hydroxypropyl
- acetoxyalkyl e.g. B-acetoxyethyl, 'y-acetoxypropyl
- carboxyalkyl e.g.
- fl-carbamoylethyl 'y-carbamoyl-propyl, B-carbamoylbutyl, fl-N-ethylcarbamoylethyb, y-N-ethylcarbamoylpropyl, B-N-methylcarbarnoylbutyl), sulfamoylalkyl (e.g. 'y-sulfamoylpropyl, 8-sulfamoylbutyl), aminosulfonylalkyl (e.g.
- A represents aryl groups, such as a phenyl group, a methoxyphenyl, a tolyl or a chlorophenyl group.
- X represents an acid anion, such as a chloride, bromide, iodide, thiocyanate, perchlorate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluene-sulfonate, niethylsulfate or ethylsulfate ion.
- the feature of the sensitizing dyes of this invention resides in the fact that they are limited by general formulas (I) or (II) to a tetramethinehemicyanine or tetramethinehemicyanine base having a benzimidazole nucleus which tends to form a .l-aggregate.
- these dyes are effective for raising the spectral sensitivity in the orthoregion.

2". Murat-l ATTORNEYS SPECTRALLY SENSITIZED PHOTOGRAPHIC SILVER HALIDE EMULSION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a photographic silver halide emulsion containing a new sensitizing dye and more particularly, it is concerned with a silver halide emulsion having a high spectral sensitivity in the orthoregion.
2. Description of the Prior Art It has been well known in the technique for making a photographic silver halide emulsion that, when a sensitizing dye is added to a silver halide emulsion, it is spectrally sensitized and its light-sensitive wavelength region is enlarged. The spectral sensitivity is often affected by the chemical structure of a sensitizing dye. In particular, a strong sensitivity near the spectral sensitivity maximum due to the J-aggregate of a sensitizing dye adsorbed on surfaces of silver halide grains is liable to be affected because the formation of a J-aggregate depends on the chemical structure of the sensitizing dye; for example, the kind of heterocyclic ring or substituent. Therefore, it is very important in practice to select a sensitizing dye to be used in the case of sensitizing strongly the light-sensitive wavelength region required by a photographic light-sensitive material.
Moreover, when a photographic silver halide material containing a sensitizing dye is subjected to ordinary processings such as developing, fixing, stabilizing and water washing, staining often occurs due to coloring by the sensitizing dye remaining in the emulsion layer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is the principal object of this invention to provide a silver halide emulsion which has a high spectral sensitivity in the ortho-region and which does not retain stains after development.
The above mentioned object of the invention can be accomplished by incorporating a new sensitizing dye represented by the following general formula (I) or (II) in a silver halide emulsion.
(I III N In these formulas, Z represents an atomic group necessary for forming a benzene ring, the hydrogen atom of which may be substituted for by conventional substituents for benzimidazolo cyanine dyes. Substituents in this case are those well known for benzimidazolocarbocyanines, such as halogen atoms, e.g. fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, a trifluoromethyl group, a trifluoromethylsulfonyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, such as methylsulfonyl group, sulfamoyl group, an alkylaminosulfonyl group such as a methylaminosulfonyl or ethylaminosulfonyl group, a dialkylaminosulfonyl group, such as a dimethylaminosulfonyl, diefthylamino'sulfonyl, pipei'idinosulfonylfrnorpholiriosul I fonyl or a pyrrolidinosylfonyl group, a cyano group, a carboxyl group and an alkoxycarbonyl group, such as a methoxycarbonyl or an ethoxycarbonyl group. R and R represent the same or different alkyl groups, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and n-butyl groups, and substituted alkyl groups conventionally used as nitrogen substituents in benzimidazolo cyanine dyes, except a sulfoalkyl group, such as hydroxy alkyl (e.g. B-hydroxyethyl, -y-hydroxypropyl), acetoxyalkyl (e.g. B-acetoxyethyl, 'y-acetoxypropyl) carboxyalkyl (e.g. carboxymethyl, fl-carboxyethyl, y-carboxypropyl, 8-carboxybutyl), cyanoalkyl (e.g. B-cyanoethyl, y-cyanopropyl, 8-cyanobutyl), carbamoylalkyl (e.g. fl-carbamoylethyl, 'y-carbamoyl-propyl, B-carbamoylbutyl, fl-N-ethylcarbamoylethyb, y-N-ethylcarbamoylpropyl, B-N-methylcarbarnoylbutyl), sulfamoylalkyl (e.g. 'y-sulfamoylpropyl, 8-sulfamoylbutyl), aminosulfonylalkyl (e.g. -y-N- ethylaminosulfonylpropyl, 8-N- ethylaminosulfonylbutyl), allyl (e.g. vinylmethyl) and aralkyl (e.g. phenethyl) groups. A represents aryl groups, such as a phenyl group, a methoxyphenyl, a tolyl or a chlorophenyl group. X represents an acid anion, such as a chloride, bromide, iodide, thiocyanate, perchlorate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluene-sulfonate, niethylsulfate or ethylsulfate ion.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The feature of the sensitizing dyes of this invention, at least with regard to chemical structure resides in the fact that they are limited by general formulas (I) or (II) to a tetramethinehemicyanine or tetramethinehemicyanine base having a benzimidazole nucleus which tends to form a .l-aggregate. In particular, these dyes are effective for raising the spectral sensitivity in the orthoregion. As compared with this, tetramethinehemicyanines or tetramethinehemicyanine bases having benzothiazole, benzoselenazole or benzoxazole nucleus, mentioned in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,369,509 and 2,369,509 are difficult to form the J-aggregate and have a low spectral sensitivity.

Moreover, the sensitizing dyes represented by general formula (II) are obtainable by treating the sensitizing dye (I) with an aqueous akaline solution and removing the I-IX.
SYNTHESIS EXAMPLE I 3 .8 g of 5 ,6-dichloro-1,3-diethyl-2- methylbenzimidazolium iodide and 2.2 g of B-anilinoacroleinanil are heated at 170C for 6 hours in 50 ml of acetic anhydride on an oil bath. The reaction solution is cooled and mixed with ether in large excess to deposit a product. The ether is removed by decantation and the product is washed with ether. The product is recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 2.2 g of acetanilide intermediate melting at 225-228C. The acetanilide intermediate is dissolved in methanol and then mixed with 4N caustic soda and with water to deposit a crystal which is then filtered, washed with water and recrystallized from methanol to obtain 1.5 g of Dye 3melting at 274C.
SYNTHESIS EXAMPLE 2 l g of Dye 3 is suspended in ml of acetone and mixed with 4N caustic soda to dissolve the crystal. Water is added thereto to deposit a product which is then washed with water and extracted with benzene to obtain 0.3 g of Dye l0 melting at 174C.
Other dyes can be obtained in a similar manner mentioned above.
The sensitizing dyes used in this invention are capable of spectrally sensitizing a silver halide photographic emulsion, and in particular, effectively enlarging the light-sensitive region of a gelatino-silver halide photographic emulsion. They can also sensitize other photographic emulsions containing a hydrophilic colloid besides gelatin. Illustrative of these are agar colloidion, cellulose derivatives, polyvinyl alcohol or a natural hydrophilic resin.
For the emulsion of this invention there are used various silver salts, such as mixed silver halides, such a s silver iodobromide, silver chlorobromide, a silver chloroiodobromide, and silver bromide.
For the preparation of a photographic emulsion sensitized according tothe invention, the sensitizing dye may be added to a photographic emulsion in a conventional manner. Ordinarily the sensitizing dye is dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as methanol and added to an emulsion in the form of a solution. The quantity of the sensitizing dye to be incorporated in the emulsion may be varied within a wide range of 5-200 mg per 1 kg of the emulsion according to the desired effect.
Furthermore, to the photographic emulsion of this invention may be added known sensitizing dyes as well as commonly used additives, such as sensitizers, stabilizers, color tone regulators, hardeners, surfactants, fog inhibitors, plasticizers, development accelerators, color couplers, fluorescent whitening agents and ultraviolet ray absorbers.
The photographic emulsion of this invention may be coated in a conventional manner onto a suitable support member, such as glass, a cellulose derivative film, a synthetic resin film, baryta paper, a resin laminated paper or synthetic paper.
