Abstract
Abstract A color photographic recording material developable by heat treatment and comprising at least one binder layer, which contains photosensitive silver halide, optionally a substantially non-photosensitive silver salt and a color providing compound (dye releaser), can be improved in regard to the Dmin/max relation and in regard to sensitivity by addition of a compound corresponding to formula I R.sup.1 --S--CO--O--R.sup.2 in which R 1 and R 2 independently of one another represent alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A color photographic recording material developable by heat treatment and comprising at least one binder layer which is applied to a layer support and which contains photosensitive silver halide, optionally a substantially non-photosensitive silver salt, at least one non-diffusing color-providing compound which is capable of releasing a diffusible dye in consequence of development by heat treatment and a fog-reducing compound, wherein the fog-reducing compound corresponds to the following formula R.sup.1 --S--CO--O--R.sup.2 I in which R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different and each represent an alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A color photographic recording material developable by heat treatment and comprising at least one binder layer which is applied to a layer support and which contains photosensitive silver halide, optionally a substantially non-photosensitive silver salt, at least one non-diffusing color-providing compound which is capable of releasing a diffusible dye in consequence of development by heat treatment and a fog-reducing compound, wherein the fog-reducing compound corresponds to the following formula R.sup.1 --S--CO--O--R.sup.2 I in which R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different and each represent an alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A recording material as claimed in claim 1 wherein R 1 in formula I represents an aryl group substituted by halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, acylamino, alkoxycarbonyl and/or sulfamoyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A recording material as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 wherein R 2 represents an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl group containing up to 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A recording material as claimed in claim 1 wherein the fog-reducing compound of formula I is present in a quantity of from 0.01 to 0.5 mole per mole of silver salt.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A recording material as claimed in claim 1 wherein the color-providing compound is an oxidizable color-providing compound capable of releasing a diffusible dye as a result of oxidation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A recording material as claimed in claim 1 wherein the color-providing compound is a reducible color-providing compound capable of releasing a diffusible dye as a result of reduction, and the reducible color-providing compound is used in combination with an electron donor compound.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
75 words
A recording material as claimed in claim 1 containing three combinations of a photosensitive silver salt and a non-diffusing color-providing compound which is capable of releasing a diffusible dye, the silver halide in each of the three combinations having a different spectral sensitivity and the color-providing compound associated with the silver halide being capable of releasing a dye of which the absorption range substantially coincides with the spectral sensitivity range of the associated silver halide.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
A recording material as claimed in claim 7 containing the three combinations in three binder layers arranged one above the other and optionally separated by separating layers.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
A recording material as claimed in claim 7 containing the three combinations in the form of separate, complex coacervates in a common binder layer.
