Abstract

Abstract A method for producing photographic images by development of an exposed silver halide element at elevated temperature is provided wherein the development occurs in the presence of a non-quaternary, non-heterocyclic nitrobenzene compound of the formula: ##STR1## WHEREIN: (R) n stands for one or more substituents selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, alkynyl, substituted alkynyl, alkoxy, substituted alkoxy, alkylmercapto, substituted alkylmercapto, amino, substituted amino, aryl, substituted aryl, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, sulpho or carboxy in acid or salt form, alkoxycarbonyl and an acyl group derived from a carboxylic or sulphonic acid. The nitrobenzene compounds have a favorable effect on the sensitometric properties of the silver halide emulsion that are developed at elevated temperature. They reduce the supplemental fog produced by development at elevated temperature.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 111 words
Method of producing photographic images which comprises developing an exposed photographic element comprising a support and at least one photographic silver halide emulsion, at a temperature above 30° C., wherein the said development is carried out in the presence of at least one non-quaternary, non-heterocyclic nitrobenzene compound corresponding to the formula: ##STR3## wherein: (R) n stands for one or more substituents selected from hydrogen, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkylmercapto group, an amino group, an aryl group, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, sulpho or carboxy in acid or salt form, alkoxycarbonyl and an acyl group derived from a carboxylic or sulphonic acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 111 words
Method of producing photographic images which comprises developing an exposed photographic element comprising a support and at least one photographic silver halide emulsion, at a temperature above 30° C., wherein the said development is carried out in the presence of at least one non-quaternary, non-heterocyclic nitrobenzene compound corresponding to the formula: ##STR3## wherein: (R) n stands for one or more substituents selected from hydrogen, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkylmercapto group, an amino group, an aryl group, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, sulpho or carboxy in acid or salt form, alkoxycarbonyl and an acyl group derived from a carboxylic or sulphonic acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein the said nitrobenzene compound is present in the silver halide emulsion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
Method according to claim 2 wherein the said nitrobenzene compound is present in an amount comprised between 1 mg and 1000 mg per mole of silver halide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein the nitrobenzene compound is m- or p-dinitrobenzene, 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulphonic acid in acid or salt form, 4-nitrophthalic acid or 4,4'-dinitro-biphenyl.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 13 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein the emulsion comprises an azaindene emulsion stabilizer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 12 words
Method according to claim 5 wherein said azaindene emulsion stabilizer is 5-methyl-7-hydroxy-s-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine.
