Definitions

  • ABSTRACT The invention relates to silver halide photographic material containing an antifog agent having the formula wherein A is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic radical or a 4-acetaminophenyl radical,
  • R is H, alkyl of l to 4 carbon atoms, aryl or CO CH-S -A and n is 2 to 4.
  • the stabilizers from the class of triazaindolizines which are outstandingly suitable for the prevention of storage fog, do not provide suitable protection against overdevelopment fog, because their protective action abates and practically disappears through diffusion displacement and other mechanisms toward the end of the development exactly when they are most needed.
  • Other stabilizers of known effectiveness such as mercury compounds or heterocyclic mercapto compounds are indeed capable of reducing the development fog in the normal and also in the overdevelopment region, but have the big disadvantage that when used in sufficient quantities they reduce considerably the sensitivity of the photographic emulsions.
  • a fundamental disadvantage of the direct addition of the heterocyclic mercapto compounds, which in themselves are particularly active against overdevelopment fog, to silver halide emulsions consists in that they are completely active from the time of their addition, that is, also during the casting process, during the total time of storage of the unprocessed film material and finally already in the initial stage of the photographic development. Therefore, one is forced to accept desensitization effects even before processing, and incomplete utilization of the sensitivity of the material during the development itself.
  • Substituents of the thioester type for example carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid groups, or groupings of carbonic acid derivatives, for example carbalkoxyl groups, are known from many Patents: for example, from German Pat. No. 1,597,503, U.S. Pat. No. 3,260,597 and German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,061,972. They all have the disadvantage that they do indeed cleave more or less rapidly in the alkaline medium of the developer, but hydrolytic cleavage takes place, even though slowly, already in neutral or weakly acid pH regions.
  • substituents of the thioether type for example, those of U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,981,624 and 3,260,597, German Pat. No. 1,173,796 and German Offenlegungsschrift No. 1,908,217, are indeed stable in neutral or weakly acid media, but do not react during the development process, or react much too slowly or only at higher concentrations and, therefore, cannot prevent overdevelopment fog, at least not in the desired degree.
  • an object of the present invention consists in providing antifog agents with inactivated mercapto groups which are completely stable in the neutral or weakly acid pH region of the emulsion but, on the other hand, in the alkaline pH region liberate the active stabilizer to the desired extent during development.
  • Suitable compounds of this type are listed in Table 1 under the numbers l-9, of which the compounds 2, 5, 6 and 9 are preferred in the present invention.
  • heterocyclic radicals A contemplated are, for example, the thiodiazolyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, imidazolyl, benzimidazolyl, pyrimidinyl and triazolyl radicals.
  • the heterocyclic radical A is the heterocyclic radical of a mercapto antifog agent and is usually substituted as illustrated in the compounds of Table 1. Compounds derivable from l-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole are particularly preferred. In such compounds, A is a lphenyltetrazolyl radical as shown in Compounds 1-4 and 8 of the compounds of the invention. It is preferred that the heterocyclic radical A have 5 or 6 atoms in the heterocyclic ring.
  • the antifog agents are added to the light-sensitive emulsions or also to the light-insensitive auxiliary layers, such as interlayers, protective layers and the like.
  • the addition takes place most favorably before casting the emulsion, but it is also possible to add the compounds at another point in the production of the emulsion.
  • the compounds When used in the emulsion layer itself, the compounds preferably are added in quantities of 0.05 to mmol based on 1.0 mols of silver halide added, whereas in the auxiliary layers they display the best effect in quantities of 0.1 to 5 mmols.
  • the optimum quantity naturally depends on the nature of the antifog agent and the emulsion used and can be determined easily from case to case.
  • the compounds described can be dissolved in a suitable solvent and added to the emulsion in this form. If the solubility of the compounds in water-miscible organic solvents is too small, they can also be dissolved in a known manner in water-immiscible organic solvents and added in the form of a dispersion.
  • suitable solvents are 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane, tributyl phosphate, diethyl phthalate, ethyl acetate, phenyl glycol and the like.
  • the new antifog agents can be used in the most varied kinds of reproduction materials, for example, in nonoptically sensitized materials, such as X-ray films, but just as well also in orthochromatically and panchromatically sensitized reproducing materials.
  • the light-sensitive emulsions used may contain the customary additives, such as chemical sensitizers, hardeners, wetting agents, and the like.
  • the new antifog agents can be used in mixtures with one another or in combination with other antifog agents.
  • EXAMPLE 1 This example describes the preparation of Compound 6 of Table 1. 4-Mercaptoacetanilide (1.67g 0.01 mol) is heated to boiling under reflux for 3 hours with 1.25 g (0.01 mol) of N-ethylmaleimide in 50 ml of ethanol. Subsequently the mixture is evaporated to dryness in a vacuum and the residue is recrystallized from 1:1 ehtanol/benzene. Yield: Practically quantitative Mp 179 C.
  • the emulsion is divided into five portions A, B, C, D and E.
  • Portion A contains no additive and serves as a comparison sample.
  • the quantities of additives, dissolved in acetone, presented in Table 3 were added to portions B, C, D and E per mol of silver bromide. Subsequently the portions A to D were halved (part I and part 11) and cast on a polyester film base immediately or after 1 hour/35 C.
  • the light-sensitive material was evaluated in the customary manner.
  • Hydroquinone 30.00g l-Phenyl-3-pyrazolidone 1.00g Na SO (anhydrous) 60.00g KOH 23.00g NaB0 -4H O 20.00g water to make up to 1 l.
  • the products were then fixed in a customary fixing bath, subsequently Washed and dried.
  • the value for the general sensitivity of the comparison emulsion is set equal to 100:
  • EXAMPLE 5 A silver halide emulsion prepared according to the information of Example 4 is divided into seven parts A, B, C, D, E, F and G, in doing which part A serves as a comparison sample. To each of the remaining parts one of the additives in Table 4 in acetone solution was added and after a standing time of 1 hour at 35 C was cast on a polyester film base. The further processing followed that in Example 4.
  • the silver halide consists of 98 weight percent of silver bromide and 2 weight percent of silver iodide.
  • the emulsion produced in this way is divided into three parts A, B and C.
  • Part A contains no additive and serves as a comparison sample.
  • Parts B and C contain the quantities of additives given in Table 5 per mol of silver bromide. After a standing time of 1 hour at 35 C the emulsions are cast on a polyester film base and processed further as in Example 4.
  • a silver halide emulsion prepared like that in Example 6 is divided into four parts A, B, C and D, whereby part A serves as a comparison sample.
  • To each of the remaining parts B, C and D is added per mol of silver bromide one of the additives presented in Table 6 in acetone solution and, after a standing time of one hour at A silver halide emulsion prepared according to the information in Example 4 is divided into three parts A, B and C.
  • Part A contains no additive and serves as a comparison sample.
  • Parts B and C contain the quantities of additives per mol given in Table 7. After a standing time of 1 hour at 35 C, the emulsions are cast on a polyester film base and processed further as in Example 4.
  • the new stabilizers are characterized chiefly in that, at pH values of l and above, they are very easily cleavable, whereas they are absolutely stable at the same time in the pH region between 3 and 7.
  • these compounds even when they are in contact with the light-sensitive emulsion for a long time before the casting, which is always the case under production conditions, are stable and display no tendency toward hydrolysis in this pH region, so that even with very long standing time, there is no desensitization.
  • Photographic material comprising a film support and at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing an antifog agent or being in contact with an auxiliary layer containing an antifog agent, said antifog agent being present in an antifogging amount and having the formula:
  • A represents a 4-acetaminophenyl radical. 5. Photographic material according to claim wherein A represents a benzoxazolyl radical.
  • Photographic material according to claim wherein A is selected from l-phenyltetrazolyl, benzothiazolyl, 4-acetaminophenyl, and benzoxazolyl radicals.
