Claim 1
Independent Claim
22 words
A composition as defined in claim 1 wherein m is 2 and said R groups are in para position to each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composition as defined in claim 1 wherein said developing agent is 2,5-dihydroxyphenyl-bis(diphenyl)-phosphine.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
75 words
A method of developing a silver halide emulsion which comprises treating an exposed silver halide emulsion containing a latent image with an aqueous solution containing a silver halide developing agent selected from the group consisting of compounds within the formula wherein Z is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical, substituted or unSubstituted; R is selected from a hydroxyl group and an amino group; m is at least 1; and n is an integer 0, 1 or 2.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method according to claim 4 wherein m is 2 and said R groups are in para position to each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
101 words
A photographic process comprising the steps of developing an exposed silver halide emulsion with an aqueous solution comprising a silver halide developing agent and a silver halide solvent in the presence of an image-receiving material superposed on said silver halide emulsion to form a silver transfer print on said image-receiving material, said developing agent being selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the formula wherein Z is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical, substituted or unsubstituted; R is selected from a hydroxyl group and an amino group; m is at least 1; and n is an integer 0, 1 or 2.
