Abstract
Abstract A light-sensitive silver halide photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one hydrophilic colloid layer which contains a color-forming coupler having a nitrogen-containing residue releasable on reaction of the coupler with an oxidation product of a color developing agent and which contains a thiocarbonyl group (S═C<), a selenocarbonyl group (Se═C<) or a telluriumcarbonyl group (Te═C<), the nitrogen atom of the nitrogen-containing residue being attached to the carbon atom in the coupling position of the coupler.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
In a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material comprising a support and at least one silver halide emulsion layer the improvement which comprises at least one hydrophilic colloid layer which contains a color-forming coupler represented by the formula (I) ##STR18## wherein Cp is a coupler moiety capable of coupling with an oxidation product of a color developing agent; Y is sulfur, selenium or tellurium; and Z is a nitrogen-containing moiety, which is incapable of exhibiting tautomerism prior to release from the coupler moiety and is released on coupling with the oxidation product of the color developing agent and a nitrogen atom of which is bonded to the coupling position of the Cp moiety, said nitrogen atom also being bonded to the C═Y moiety by a single bond.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
In a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material comprising a support and at least one silver halide emulsion layer the improvement which comprises at least one hydrophilic colloid layer which contains a color-forming coupler represented by the formula (I) ##STR18## wherein Cp is a coupler moiety capable of coupling with an oxidation product of a color developing agent; Y is sulfur, selenium or tellurium; and Z is a nitrogen-containing moiety, which is incapable of exhibiting tautomerism prior to release from the coupler moiety and is released on coupling with the oxidation product of the color developing agent and a nitrogen atom of which is bonded to the coupling position of the Cp moiety, said nitrogen atom also being bonded to the C═Y moiety by a single bond.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
189 words
The photographic material as claimed in claim 1, wherein said coupler is represented by the formulae (II), (III) and (IV) ##STR19## wherein R 1 and R 2 each is an alkyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic group, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an amino group, a carbonamido group, a sulfonamido group, a sulfamoyl group, a carbamoyl group or an alkoxy group; R 3 and R 4 each is as defined for R 1 and R 2 and can represent an atomic group necessary for completing a benzo group together; and Z is the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group releasable on coupling of formula (I); ##STR20## wherein R 5 is an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group, R 6 is an alkyl group, an amino group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic group or an alkoxy group; and Z is the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group releasable on coupling of formula (I); ##STR21## wherein R 7 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group or an aryl group; X is a cyano group or a carbamoyl group; and Z is the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group releasable on coupling of formula (I).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
The photographic material as claimed in claim 1, wherein said coupler and at least one other two or four equivalent coupler are incorporated in the same hydrophilic colloid layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
The photographic material as claimed in claim 1, wherein Y is sulfur.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The photographic material as claimed in claim 1, wherein Y is selenium.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
The photographic material as claimed in claim 1, wherein Y is tellurium.
