Abstract
Abstract In high sensitivity color photographic recording materials the undesired color fog density is reduced by highly reactive DIR-compounds having an effective reaction velocity constant k eff of more than 20,000 [1 . mole -1 . sec -1 ] (measured at pH 10.2 by the method described hereinafter) in a concentration of from 10 -5 to 10 -3 mole per mole of silver halide, if contained in a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer or in a concentration of from 10 -7 to 10 -5 mole per gram of solids if contained in a silver-halide-free binder layer adjacent to a silver halide emulsion layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
In a color photographic recording material comprising at least three differently spectrally sensitized light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer units which have non-diffusing color couplers associated therewith, and non-light-sensitive binder layers, the improvement according to which in at least one of the light-sensitive and light-insensitive layers of the recording material is associated with a DIR coupler compound corresponding to the following formula: ##STR12## said DIR coupler having an effective reaction velocity constant k eff of more than 20,000 (mole -1 .sec -1 .) in a concentration of from 10 -5 to 10 -3 mole per mole of silver halide in the same layer or in a concentration of from 10 -7 to 10 -5 mole per gram of solids in the case of a silver-halide-free binder layer adjacent to a silver halide emulsion layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
In a color photographic recording material comprising at least three differently spectrally sensitized light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer units which have non-diffusing color couplers associated therewith, and non-light-sensitive binder layers, the improvement according to which in at least one of the light-sensitive and light-insensitive layers of the recording material is associated with a DIR coupler compound corresponding to the following formula: ##STR12## said DIR coupler having an effective reaction velocity constant k eff of more than 20,000 (mole -1 .sec -1 .) in a concentration of from 10 -5 to 10 -3 mole per mole of silver halide in the same layer or in a concentration of from 10 -7 to 10 -5 mole per gram of solids in the case of a silver-halide-free binder layer adjacent to a silver halide emulsion layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The recording material as claimed in claim 1, in which the DIR coupler used is a DIR coupler which forms, on coupling with the color developer oxidation products, only substantially colorless reaction products.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The recording material as claimed in claim 1 in which the DIR coupler having the specified effective reaction velocity constant k eff of more than 20,000 l.mole -1 .sec -1 is contained in the yellow filter layer.
