Abstract:
This invention relates to a class of phthalein indicator dyes useful as optical filter agents in photographic processes to protect a selectively exposed photosensitive material from further exposure during processing in the presence of incident light. Such dyes comprise 3,3-disubstituted phthalides and 3,3disubstituted naphthalides wherein the 3,3 substituents are 8''hydroxy-5''-quinolyl radicals.
Abstract:
A photosensitive silver halide emulsion is disclosed which is spectrally sensitized with a dye combination comprising a symmetrical benzoxazolocarbocyanine dye of the formula:
WHEREIN R represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl group possessing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, inclusive; and each R1 represents a carboxyalkyl or sulfoalkyl group possessing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, in the alkylene chain; Y represents an anion; and n represents 0 or 1, with n 0 in the inner salt form of the dye; and an unsymmetrical benzimidazolocarbocyanine dye of the formula:
WHEREIN Y and n possess the same meaning as in Formula I; X is S or Se; R2 is a lower alkyl group possessing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms inclusive; R3 and R4 are the same or different and represent a carboxyalkyl or sulfoalkyl group, each possessing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, in the alkylene chain, or a lower alkyl group, with at least one of R3 and R4 being said carboxyalkyl or sulfoalkyl group; R5 is halogen, cyano, or lower carboxyalkyl; R6 is hydrogen or halogen; and Z represents the non-metallic atoms necessary to complete a benzothiazole or benzoselenazole nucleus.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for preparing 2- Beta -anilinovinyl derivatives of benzimidazolium salts, useful in the preparation of cyanine dyes and related compounds, which comprises condensing a benzimidazolium salt having a reactive methyl group with an alkyl isoformanilide in a glycol ether medium.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a new class of pH sensitive indicator dyes useful as optical filter agents in photographic processes to protect a selectively exposed photosensitive material from further exposure during processing in the presence of incident light. Such dyes contain a phenolate group as the ring-closing moiety and are represented by the compounds
WHEREIN R is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkaryl, R1 and R2 the same are hydrogen, chloro or nitro, and R3 is hydrogen, carboxy, sulfonamido, sulfamoyl or alkoxy.
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO PHOTOGRAPHY, AND MORE PARTICULARLY, IT RELATES TO THE USE OF CERTAIN INDICATOR DYES DERIVED FROM INDOLES AS OPTICAL FILTER AGENTS TO PROTECT A SELECTIVELY EXPOSED PHOTOSENSITIVE MATERIAL FROM POSTEXPOSURE FOGGING IN PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSES WHERE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHOTOSENSITIVE MATERIAL IS CONDUCTED IN THE PRESENCE OF EXTRANEOUS INCIDENT LIGHT. THESE INDICATOR DYES CONTAIN AN INDOLE RADICAL, A SECOND AROMATIC RADICAL AND A RING-CLOSING MOIETY BONDED TO THE AROMATIC RADICAL AND TO THE 2- OR 3-POSITION OF THE INDOLE RADICAL. AT A FIRST PH THEY HAVE A HIGHLY COLORED, LIGHT-ABSORBING FORM CAPABLE OF ABSORBING RADIATION WITHIN A PREDETERMINED WAVELENGTH RANGE IS THE SHORTER WAVELENGTH REGION OF THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM AND AT A SECOND PH HAVE A COLORLESS FORM THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY NON-LIGHT-ABSORBING IN THE VISIBLE
SPECTRUM. BY SELECTING A DYE FROM THIS CLASS WHICH IS IN ITS LIGHT-ABSORBING FORM AT THE PH AT WHICH DEVELOPMENT IS PERFORMED, PROTECTION OF THE EXPOSED PHOTOSENSITIVE MATERIAL FROM RADIATION ACTINIC THERETO IS AFFORDED WITHIN THE WAVELENGTH RANGE ABSORBED BY THE DYE AND SUBSEQUENT TO AT LEAST THE INITIAL STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT, THE DYE MAY BE RENDERED SUBSTANTIALLY COLORLESS BY ADJUSTING THE PH TO PERMIT VIEWING OF THE FINAL IMAGE.
