Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to compounds suitable for use as acutance dyes in photosensitive compositions, to the preparation of such compounds and to photo- sensitive compositions containing the compounds. The invention is particularly concerned with photosensitive compositions of the type known as "dry silver" compositions.
- Dry silver photosensitive compositions comprise an intimate mixture of a light sensitive silver halide and another silver compound such as a silver salt of an organic acid, e.g. silver behanate or silver saccharine, which upon reduction gives a visible change and which is substantially light-insensitive. Such a mixture is usually prepared in suspension and the resulting dispersion spread as a layer on a suitable substrate. When dry, the layer is exposed to a light image and thereafter a reproduction of the image can be developed by heating the layer in the presence of a reducing agent such as hydroquinone or certain substituted phenols.
- It is because the exposure and development of the layer occur without using water, that these materials are often referred to as dry silver light-sensitive materials. Such materials in which minor amounts of a photosensitive silver halide catalyst-progenitor are associated in catalytic proximity with major amounts of a heat sensitive oxidation-reduction image forming reaction mixture which reacts more rapidly in the presence of the catalyst resulting upon exposure of the silver halide are well known in the art. Examples of such materials are described in our British Patent No. 1 110 046 and in United States Patent Specification Nos. 3 839 049 and 3 457 075.
- We believe, that when the mixture is exposed to light, a latent image is formed in the silver halide. Thereafter, the silver compound can be reduced by heating with the reducing agent, this reduction being catalysed image-wise by the light exposed silver halide. By a suitable choice of temperature, the reduction of the silver compound can be catalysed in the light exposed areas to give a visible darkening while any slight reduction which occurs in the non-light exposed areas is insufficient to give a marked change. Of course, because the silver halide acts as a catalyst progenitor, only very small amounts of it can suffice, e.g. 0.1 to 10% by weight of the mixture. However, large amounts, e.g. up to 15 or even 20% may be desirable in some circumstances.
- In order to improve the sharpness or definition of photographic images a dye known as an acutance dye is often incorporated into photo-sensitive compositions. To be effective the acutance dye will absorb at the wavelengths at which the photosensitive composition is sensitive. The longer the path length of the light in the layer of light sensitive composition the greater the attenuation. Therefore, scattered light is attenuated or absorbed to a larger extent that light which impinges directly on a light-sensitive crystal. As a result therefore, although the overall speed of the composition is reduced slightly, scattered light and other light rays which are liable to produce a blurred image are preferentially absorbed and so the overall definition and sharpness of images produced in the layer are increased.
- An acutance dye for use in a dry silver composition is preferably heat labile, that is to say, it is destroyed by the heat development of the dry silver composition to one or more compounds which are substantially colour-less.
- It is therefore an'object of this invention to provide dry silver compositions containing acutance dyes, which absorb light at at least some of those wavelengths to which the composition is sensitive and which are rendered colourless upon heat development of the dry silver composition.
- It is also an object of the invention to provide novel compounds suitable for use as acutance dyes in dry silver systems and a method for their preparation.
- According to the present invention there is provided a light-sensitive composition comprising an intimate mixture of a substantially light-insensitive silver compound which upon reduction gives a visible change and sufficient of a silver halide to catalyse said reduction to give a visible change in those areas where the silver halide has been exposed to light and when the mixture is heated in the presence of a reducing agent, characterised in that the composition contains as an acutance dye, a compound of the general formula:
- in which R1 represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms,
- R 2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a substituted phenyl group of molecular weight less than 350, -COOR1 in which R1 is as defined above, C6H5CO- or R6NH.CO in which R6 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group,
- R 3, R 4 and R 5 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent which can be present in a cyanine dye type heterocyclic nucleus, D represents
- Y represents -CN or -N02,
- n is 1 when k is 0 or k is 1 when n is 0, and
- m is 0, 1 or 2.
- The substituents R3, R4 and R independently represent a substituent which, as known in the art, can be present in a cyanine dye type heterocylic nucleus, defined herein as a "cyanine dye compatible substituent", referring to the broadly art accepted knowledge of substituents. A range of such substituents are disclosed for example in United States Patent Specification No. 2 921 067.
- Examples of substituents for R3, R4 and R5 include hydrogen or halogen, e.g. chlorine, bromine or iodine, an alkyl group containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms, -(CH2)pCOOH where p is 0, 1, 2 or 3, -N02, -NH2 or -NHCOCH3, or any two of R3 to R5 together represent the carbon atoms needed to complete a fused on benzene ring. Preferably at least one, more preferably at least two, of the substituents R3 to R5 represent hydrogen atoms. The most preferred substituents to be represented by each of R3 to R5 are hydrogen, chlorine or bromine atoms, or methyl, ethyl, methoxy or ethoxy groups.
- It is found that dry silver compositions containing one of the above described compounds as an acutance dye can give excellent sharp images and that the actuance dye will be rendered considerably lighter in colour or substantially colourless by the heating required to develop the composition, This is surprising in view of the fact that many of these dyes are found not to be decomposed to a colourless state when they are heated on their own to the temperature at which the dry silver compositions are heated for development.
- The exact mechanism for this decomposition is not known although the extent of decolourisation has been found to vary when the dry silver systems are altered. Thus a dye may be decomposed to a colourless state when it is present in'one particular dry silver system upon development but in a different system the dye may simply be rendered lighter in colour. Thus a compound for use as an acutance dye in a particular dry silver system is selected not only for its efficiency as an acutance dye in that system but also to obtain the desired background after the dry silver composition is developed.
- One preferred group of acutance dyes for use in the invention are those in which k=0, n=l, Y is N02 and R2 is COOC2H5, C6H5, C1 to C4 alkyl or hydrogen.
- A second preferred group of acutance dyes for use in the invention are those in which m=l, k=l, n=0, Y is NO2, D is oxygen or sulphur and R is COOR1, C6H5, substituted phenyl, C1 to C4 alkyl or hydrogen.
- A further group of preferred dyes are 1-alkyl-4-nitromethylene-quinolanes in which the alkyl substituent contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms, particularly those dyes of the general formula:
- A further series of dyes are those in which R2 represents:
-
- in which R16 represents an alkyl group of 1 to 8 carbon atoms,
- R 17 represents alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, N02 or aryl, and
- R18 represents hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or alkoxy of 1 to 8 carbon atoms.
- The acutance dyes can be incorporated into the dry silver compositions of the invention in ad amount from 5 x 10-4 to 0.1 mole of acutance dye per kilogram of total dry solids in the composition. Preferably, however the dyes are incorporated in an amount of from 2 x 10-3 to 3 x 10-2 mole of acutance dye per kilogram of dry solids in the composition.
- The light-sensitive compositions of the invention will normally be spread for use on a support, suitable supports including, for example, paper, polyester or polyamide film bases, and glass. The composition will normally be prepared as a solution or suspension which is spread as a layer on the support and then the solvent or vehicle is evaporated off to leave a dry photo-sensitive layer. If desired, a coating aid or binder such as polyvinyl butyral, polymethyl methacrylate, cellulose acetate, polyvinyl acetate, cellulose acetate-propionate and cellulose acetate butyrate, can be incorporated in the light-sensitive mixture.
- The substantially light-insensitive silver compound is suitably a silver salt of an organic acid. The organic acid can be a C12 to C29 aliphatic acid and is preferably a C16 to C25 aliphatic acid. Examples include silver behenate, silver caprate, silver laurate, silver myristate, silver palmitate, silver stearate, silver arachidate and silver saccharine.
- The reducing agent for this substantially light-insensitive silver compound can normally be quite mild. Suitable examples include hydroquinone and substituted phenols such as 1-methyl-4-hydroxynaphthalene, methyl gallate, catechol, phenylene diamine, p-amino-phenol and 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone. The reducing agent can be incorporated into the light-sensitive composition. Alternatively, the composition can be placed in contact with the reducing agent after exposure to light. For example, a light-sensitive coating can be exposed to a light image, placed in contact with a layer containing the reducing agent and the image then developed by heating, Preferably, however, the reducing agent is incorporated in the light-sensitive composition before this is spread on the support. Then the storage stability of the composition can be improved by incorporating in the composition a small amount of a stabilizer such as an acid stabilizer, e.g. succinic acid, benzoic acid or salicylic acid.
- The silver halide can be present in amounts of up to 20% by weight of the mixture of silver compounds or can be present in small amounts, e.c. 0.1 to 10% by weight of the mixture of silver compounds. It can be added as such to the substantially light-insensitive compound or formed in situ by adding a soluble halide, e.g. a mercury or sodium halide, to the substantially light-insensitive silver compound. The silver halide can, for example, be chloride, bromide or a mixture of them and/or other silver halides.
- The light-sensitive compositions of the invention can include one or more sensitising dyes to improve their sensitivity to parts of the spectrum other than the shorter wavelengths. Thus dye sensitized dry silver compositions of the present invention can contain an additional acutance dye such as one of those described in our copending British Patent Application No. 1 6677/77.

- wherein X⊖ represents an anion,
- Z is selected from the group consisting of SR1,
- wherein R1 is as defined above, and
- wherein Y and R2 are as defined above, the reaction being conducted in the presence of a polar solvent, a base catalyst and an acid binding agent.
- Suitable reagents are well known and fully exemplified in the cyanine/merocyanine dye literature.
- The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of C2H5OH as a solvent and (C2H5)3N as both catalyst and acid binder. The preparation is analogous to known processes used in the synthesis of merocyanine dyes.
- The acutance dyes of general formula (II) can be prepared by processes which are well known. Thus, they can be prepared in a manner analogous to the synthesis of simple merocyanine dyes as described, for example, in British Patent No. 426 718, by reacting nitromethane with a 1-alkyl-4-alkylthio-quinolinium salt in a solvent in the presence of a basic catalyst. They are, however, preferably prepared from 1-alkyl-quinolinium salts by the method described by Leonard, DeWalt and Leubuer in J.A.C.S., 73, 3328, in which a quinolinium quaternary salt is heated with nitromethane in the presence of a base, an oxidising agent and a solvent.
-
- This method is performed in the presence of a strong tertiary amine such as diisopropylethylamine. For example, in forming 1,4-dihydro-4-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-nitromethylene-1-methylquinoline (which may also be named 1,4-dihydro-1-methyl-4-(a,2,4-trinitrobenzylidene)quinoline), one would react 4-nitromethylene-1-methyl-1,4-dihydroquinoline with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene in diisopropylethylamine.
- Certain of the compounds suitable for use as acutance dyes in the present invention are known. Certain compounds of the above formula in which m=0 are disclosed in J.A.C.S. 74,2110, C.A. 55 27373g and United States Patent Specification No. 2 411 507 and other compounds in which m=1 are described by Severin & Bohme in ChemBer. 101 2925. There is no indication in any of the prior art that such compounds would be suitable for use as acutance dyes in silver halide photothermographic emulsions.

- The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples.
- 1-Methyl-4-methylthio-quinolinium toluene-4-sulphonate (1.83 g) was placed in ethanol (20 ml) and 4-nitrophenylacetonitrile (0.81 g) added. The mixture was warmed, triethylamine (0.8 ml) added and the resulting mixture heated under reflux for 15 minutes.

- A dry silver composition was first prepared. Under room light a 1000 g dispersion containing 12.5 parts of silver behenate in 87.5 parts of solvent which in turn comprised 75 parts butan-2-one and 25 parts toluene was charged to a mixing vessel maintained at 15°C. 20 g of polyvinyl butyral resin (Butvar, B-76) and 10 g of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone were added and the mixture stirred for 30 minutes.
- Under Wratten 1A safelight a mixture containing hydrobromic acid (15 ml, 2.0 molar in ethanol), hydroiodic acid (7 ml, 0.1 molar in ethanol), and mercuric bromide (4 ml, 0.5 molar in ethanol) was added with stirring. After 20 minutes an additional 40 g of Butvar B-76 was added, followed after five minutes by 10 g 2,6-bis-(2'-hydroxy-3'-tertiary-butyl-5'-methyl-benzyl)-4-methylphenol available from American Cyanamide under the name A080 and 6 g phthalazinone. After 20 minutes 12 g of a solution containing 2 mg of the following dye:
- Equimolar amounts of the acutance dyes to be tested were added to appropriate containers and dispersed in 2 ml of butane-2-one. 40 g portions of the light sensitive dispersion prepared above were added to each, the mixture shaken, left to stand 30 minutes, then shaken again prior to coating.
- Knife coatings 100 microns thick on polyester sheets were prepared from each sample and dried 3.5 to 4.0 minutes at 90°C. These dried coatings were overcoated with a solution containing 97 parts butan-2-one and 3 parts vinyl chloride vinyl acetate copolymer available from Union Carbide under the name VYNS with the knife set 50 microns above the base and dried as before. The performance of these compositions was then evaluated.
- A combination of a tungsten source, a narrow band filter at a wavelength closely matching the spectral absorbance of each dye and an aperture target overlaid with a 0 to 4 continuous density wedge in a vacuum frame, was used to make contact exposures at a wavelength closely matching the spectral absorbance maximum of each dye. The strips were then processed by heating for 20 seconds in a fluorochemical bath and examined for flare of the image.
- The acutance property of the dyes was classified very good, good, fair by examining the sharpness of the image with the naked eye.
- The background before and after processing was observed.
- The following Table 1 reports compounds of the general formula (I).
- The mode of preparation of the compounds is indicated in the final column, in which:
- 1. refers to a preparation disclosed in Chem.Ber. 101 2295,
- 2. refers to a preparation analogous to Example 2,
- 3. refers to a preparation analogous to Example 3,
- 4. refers to a preparation analogous to Example 5.
- A series of dyes of general formula (II) were prepared according to the method described in J.A.C.S. 73, 3328.
-
-
- The acutance properties were measured as in Example 6 with the exception that microdensitometer traces across the width of the image at D = 2.0 (obtained after processing the exposed strips 20 seconds at 127°C in a fluorocarbon oil bath to give reproducible heating for these tests) were used to judge the effectiveness of each dye.
- The widths reported are the measured widths in centimetres of the density profile of each image as obtained from the microdensitometer chart. All measurements were carried out at D = 1.5.
-
- As can be seen from these results the presence of a yellow acutance dye in a dry silver composition according to the invention significantly reduces flare as compared with the dry silver composition A not containing any acutance dye.
-
- In Table 5 the numbers in parentheses indicate the position of attachment for particular substituents. Infrared analysis and nucleus magnetic resonance analysis confirmed the structure of each of these dyes.
- Four hundred grams of a dispersion containing 13 parts by weight of silver behenate in 87 parts of a solvent composed of 67 parts by weight methylethylketone, 26 parts by weight toluene, and 7 parts by weight methylisobutylketone was charged to a temperature-controlled stirred reaction vessel at 15°C. Dark room conditions were maintained during all subsequent work.
- The following materials were added sequentially with 20 to 30 minutes of stirring between separate additions.
- A. 2 g of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone in 6 g of polyvinylbutyral,
- B. 8 ml of 2M HBr (in ethanol) and 3.2 ml of 0.1M HI (in ethanol),
- C. 10 g of a copolymer derived from 91% by weight vinylchloride, 3% vinylacetate, and 6% by weight vinyl alcohol polymerized to a molecular weight of about 23,000, and 24 g of polyvinyl butyral,
- D. 1.8 ml of 0.5M HgBr2 (in ethanol) was added with 5 minutes of stirring,
- E. 5.2 g of phthalazinone and 7.8 g of 2,6-bis-(2'-hydroxy- 3' -t-butyl-5'-methylbenzyl)-4-methylphenol,
- F. 2.8 ml of a sensitizer solution having 5 mg/ml of the sensitizer in N-methylpyrrolidone, the sensitizer having the formula:
- 10 mg of each candidate acutance dye was weighed into separate vessels with 3 ml of methylethylketone to dissolve or disperse the dye. 50 g portions of the light-sensitive dispersion formed above were combined with the dye solutions and to portions of methylethylketone alone as a control. All materials were stirred for three minutes. The portions were then allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, then they were knife coated at 85 microns thickness on polyester and dried for four minutes at 85°C. Each sample was topcoated with a 50 micron knife coating of a vinyl- chloride/vinylacetate copolymer as a 5% by weight solution in methylethylketone.
- The produced film samples were exposed at the wavelengths indicated below through a 0.25 mm aperture mask overlaid with a continuous density wedge in a vaccum frame. This permitted an easy comparison of image flare at equivalent optical densities after development for 15 seconds at 1270C in an inert fluorocarbon chemical bath. All dye samples had markedly less flare than the control samples, particularly at an optical density of 2.0. Except for the Compound No. 51, no samples left significant visible stain after processing. The dye of Compound No. 51 left a magenta stain which faded within an hour under room light. The dyes used in the tests were as follows:
