Definitions
- ABSTRACT Azodicarbonamidine salts as a class inhibit fog formation in silver halide emulsions when contacted there- I with.
- fog Metallic silver appearing in non-exposed areas of a silver halide photographic emulsion layer after development is commonly called fog.
- This fog may be caused by the action of certain compounds in the emulsion, by the composition and the nature of the developer, by atmospheric oxidation, storage, etc.
- the type of packaging used for the photographic film can affect fog formation, as can the type of base upon which the silver halide photographic emulsion is spread. It is probable, for example, that a supporting polyester film contributes more greatly to fog in a silver halide emulsion layer than does a supporting cellulose ester film.
- the storage of emulsions at high temperatures and humidities favors fog formation.
- fog may generally appear as a uniform blackening of emulsion layers
- these layers often show small areas where the fog is darker or lighter than in the surrounding areas. Those small areas are commonly called sensitization or desensitization spots, or more simply black spots" or white spots.
- Such spots are often related to the presence in the emulsion layer (or in an adjacent layer) of metallic particles, such 'as particles of iron, copper, tin or their derivatives. These particles are, in turn, related to the type of base used (for instance polyester) or are caused by the environment wherein the material has been prepared or used.

The solution was cooled to 5C and at this temperature small quantities of potassium permanganate in powder form were added very carefully. The resulting exothermic reaction caused the fonnation of a large amount of foam, and the solution rapidly attained an intense yellow coloration. When almost twothirds of the oxidant was added, a light voluminous yellow solid began to separate out. At the end of the reaction the mixture was rapidly filtered nearly dry; then it was washed with 100 cc of ethanol and dried under vacuum at 35C.
