Silver halide emulsions and elements comprising trimethine hemioxonal dyes
Abstract
Abstract Novel trimethine hemioxonol dyes are provided in which the polymethine chain of the dye includes the 1, 2 and 3 carbon atoms of a 1-cyclohexen-3-ylidene nucleus, the 1-carbon atom of said 1cyclohexen-3-ylidene nucleus having the nitrogen atom of a tertiary amino group attached thereto. Photographic emulsions and elements are also provided featuring the trimethine hemioxonol dyes of the invention as spectral sensitizers or as filter material. A method for preparing the trimethine hemioxonol dyes is also provided which comprises heating a quaternary salt of a 3-chlorocyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene compound having substituted on the 1-carbon atom thereof the nitrogen atom of a tertiary amino group, with an acidic compound having an active methylene group of the type used in the preparation of hemioxonol dyes, in the presence of a basic condensing agent.
