Abstract
Abstract Compounds of the formula (B--L).sub.m A--L'--B').sub.n (1), in which A is the radical of a bisazo or trisazo dye, L and L' are organic radicals and B and B' are cyclic organic radicals and at least one of the radicals B and B' has spectral absorption in the UV region and one of the radicals B and B' is different from 2,4-dihydroxyphenyl, m is 1 or 2 and n is 0, 1 or 2. The compounds are suitable for use as image dyes in photographic silver dye bleach materials.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
Photographic silver dye bleach material which contains in at least one silver halide emulsion layer or in a layer adjacent to it, a compound of the formula (B--L).sub.m A--L'--B').sub.n ( 1) in which A is the radical of a bisazo or trisazo dye, L and L' are identical or different from each other and denote bridge members, B and B' are identical or different from each other and denote aromatic radicals, at least one of the radicals B and B' having spectral absorption in the UV region, and m is 1 or 2 and n is 0, 1 or 2, provided that if n is 0, B has spectral absorption in the UV region.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
Photographic silver dye bleach material which contains in at least one silver halide emulsion layer or in a layer adjacent to it, a compound of the formula (B--L).sub.m A--L'--B').sub.n ( 1) in which A is the radical of a bisazo or trisazo dye, L and L' are identical or different from each other and denote bridge members, B and B' are identical or different from each other and denote aromatic radicals, at least one of the radicals B and B' having spectral absorption in the UV region, and m is 1 or 2 and n is 0, 1 or 2, provided that if n is 0, B has spectral absorption in the UV region.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
Photographic silver dye bleach material according to claim 1, which is a monochromic material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
A process for the preparation of copies of a diazo-type method which comprises exposing onto a diazotype material by means of UV light or light having a high UV content, as an original, a photographic image prepared with the photographic silver dye bleach material according to claim 1 by imagewise exposure, silver development, dye and silver bleaching and fixing.
