S-triazine UV absorbers

The present invention relates to a novel photographic material which contains a UV absorber, in particular of the tris-2-hydroxyphenyltriazinyl type.
The hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles used hitherto as UV absorbers in photographic materials have the disadvantage of inadequate inherent light stability. For this reason, the effectiveness of these UV absorbers decreases with increasing exposure. Furthermore, poor chemical stability, low solubility, an excessive inherent colour or an inadequate extinction coefficient of the triazines have in many cases prevented their use in photographic materials.
A group of triazine UV absorbers has now been found which, surprisingly, is substantially free from these disadvantages. They have improved inherent light stability and have the property of protecting image dyes and colour couplers better against the action of light than was possible using the hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles and triazines usually used in photographic materials. In particular, the stability of the magenta and cyan layers in photographic materials can be increased by, for example, including this group of triazines in layers arranged above the magenta or cyan layer or including them directly in the cyan layer. Furthermore, these triazines can advantageously be combined with UV absorbers of the hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole type, in particular in the case of representatives thereof which are liquid at room temperature (of., for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,853,471, 4,973,702, 4,921,966 and 4,973 701). Such combinations allow a significant reduction in the amount of oil necessary for incorporating the UV absorbers into the photographic layer in question. This results in a low layer thickness or, if the layer thickness is kept constant, a greater concentration of UV absorber.
Combinations of the triazines with UV absorbers of other types, such as benzophenones, oxanilides, cyanoacrylates, salicylates, acrylonitriles or thiazolines, are also suitable for use in photographic materials.
In particular photographic materials similar to those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,518,686 can be successfully stabilised.
The present invention thus relates to a photographic material comprising, on a base, blue-sensitive, green-sensitive and/or red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layers and, if desired, a protection layer, a layer containing a UV absorber being arranged between the uppermost silver-halide emulsion layer and the protection layer, or on top of the uppermost silver-halide layer, wherein the UV absorber conforms to the formula ##STR2## in which the radicals E.sub.1, E.sub.2 and E.sub.3, independently of one another, are alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and substituted by hydroxyl, alkenoxy having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, --CO.sub.2 H, --CO.sub.2 R.sub.2 and/or --O--COR.sub.3, oxygen-interrupted alkyl or hydroxyalkyl or glycidyloxyalkyl having 3 to 50 carbon atoms, alkenyl having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, glycidyl, a group of the formula ##STR3## cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, phenylalkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, --COR.sub.5, --SO.sub.2 R.sub.6 or --CH.sub.2 CH(OH)R.sub.7, where R.sub.2 is alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, or oxygen-, sulfur- or nitrogen-interrupted alkyl or hydroxyalkyl having 3 to 30 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, alkenyl having 3 to 18 carbon atoms, glycidyl, cycloalkyl having 5 to 8 carbon atoms, benzyl, alkylphenyl having 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, phenyl, furfuryl or a radical of the formula --CH.sub.2 CH(OH)R.sub.7, R.sub.3 is alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, alkenyl having 2 to 18 carbon atoms or phenyl, R.sub.4 is alkylene having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, phenylene or a group of the formula ##STR4## R.sub.5 is alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, alkenyl having 2 to 18 carbon atoms or phenyl, R.sub.6 is alkyl having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, phenyl, naphthyl or alkylphenyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, and R.sub.7 is phenylalkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety or a radical of the formula --CH.sub.2 OR.sub.8, where X is --O--, --S--, --SO.sub.2 --, --CH.sub.2 -- or --C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 -- and R.sub.8 is cyclohexyl, benzyl, phenyl or tolyl, or the radicals E.sub.1, E.sub.2 and E.sub.3, independently of one another, are radicals of the formula --CH.sub.2 --CH(OR.sub.x)R.sub.y, --CH.sub.2 CH(OR.sub.x)CH.sub.2 OR.sub.z, ##STR5## --CH.sub.2 COR.sub.y or --CH.sub.2 COCH.sub.2 OR.sub.z, where R.sub.x is H, --COR.sub.s, --COOR.sub.w or --SiR.sub.p R.sub.q R.sub.r, R.sub.y is C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl or phenyl--C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sub.z is C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.18 alkenyl, phenyl--C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, --COR.sub.s or oxygen-interrupted C.sub.2 -C.sub.24 alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.24 hydroxyalkyl, R.sub.s is C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.18 alkenyl or phenyl, R.sub.w is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl an R.sub.p, R.sub.q and R.sub.r, independently of one another, are C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or phenyl; or the radicals E.sub.1, E.sub.2 and E.sub.3, independently of one another, are G-II groups, where II is a group of the formula ##STR6## and G is a direct bond or a divalent group of one of the following formulae: --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --, --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --O--, --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --O--R.sub.26 --, --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --CO--X--(CH.sub.2).sub.r --, --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --CO--X--(CH.sub.2).sub.r --O--, ##STR7## or --CH.sub.2 --CH(OH)--CH.sub.2 --Y--(CH.sub.2).sub.q --, in which q and r, independently of one another, are 1-4 and p is 0-50, R.sub.26 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkylene, cyclohexylene or phenylene, R.sub.27 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl, phenyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.13 alkoxymethyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.9 cycloalkoxymethyl or phenoxymethyl, R.sub.28 is a group of the formula G-II, R.sub.29 is hydrogen or methyl, X is --O-- or --NR.sub.23 --, in which R.sub.23 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl or a --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 -G-II or --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --O-G-II group, Y is --O-- or --NH--, and R.sub.20, R.sub.21 and R.sub.22, independently of one another, are C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkoxy.

The material according to the invention preferably contains gelatin intermediate layers between the silver-halide emulsion layers.
In a further preferred embodiment, the material according to the invention contains a further layer containing a UV absorber of the formula (1), arranged between the green-sensitive and red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layers.
Good results are also achieved if the UV absorber of the formula ( 1 ) is additionally present in the red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layer.
In the layer between the green-sensitive and red-sensitive layers and/or in the red-sensitive layer, it is advantageous to use benzotriazole compounds in place of the UV absorbers of the formula ( 1 ).
These benzotriazole compounds preferably conform to the formula ##STR16## in which T.sub.1, T.sub.2 and T.sub.3, independently of one another, are hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, carboxylate-substituted alkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, hydroxyl or acyloxy, and T.sub.4 is hydrogen, alkoxy, aryloxy or acyloxy.
Particular preference is given to compounds of the formula (2) which are liquid at room temperature.
In a further aspect, the present invention also relates to a photographic material comprising, on a base, blue-sensitive, green-sensitive and/or red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layers and a protection layer, a layer containing a UV absorber being arranged between the uppermost silver-halide emulsion layer and the protection layer, wherein (a) the UV absorber conforms to the formula ##STR17## in which T.sub.1, T.sub.2 and T.sub.3, independently of one another, are hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, carboxylate-substituted alkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, hydroxyl or acyloxy, and T.sub.4 is hydrogen, alkoxy, aryloxy or acyloxy, and (b) the material contains at least one further layer containing a UV absorber of the formula (1).
The further layer is preferably arranged between the green-sensitive and red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layers.
In a further preferred embodiment, the photographic material additionally contains a UV absorber of the formula (1) in the red-sensitive layer. It may furthermore be advantageous for the UV absorber of the formula (1) in the further layer or in the red-sensitive layer to be replaced by a UV absorber of the formula (2); in this case, however, at least one layer must contain a UV absorber of the formula (1).
Preferred photographic materials contain gelatin intermediate layers between the silver-halide emulsion layers.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, the photographic material comprises, on a base, at least two silver-halide emulsion layers with a UV absorber-containing layer between these layers, wherein the UV absorber conforms to the formula (1). The two silver-halide emulsion layers are preferably green-sensitive and red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layers. Preference is furthermore given to a corresponding material in which, in addition, the red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layer contains a UV absorber of the formula ( 1 ) or (2).
A further embodiment of the present invention relates to a photographic material which comprises, on a base, a red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layer and, if desired, blue-sensitive and/or green-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layers, wherein the red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layer contains a UV absorber of the formula (1). It preferably contains a layer containing a UV absorber of the formula (2) between the red-sensitive silver-halide emulsion layer and the base.
It may furthermore be advantageous for all or some of said layers which may contain a UV absorber to contain a mixture of the UV absorbers of the formulae (1) and (2).
The photographic materials according to the invention have the advantage over materials containing benzotriazole UV absorbers that the UV absorbers of the formula (1) are required in a comparatively small amount in order to ensure adequate protection against UV radiation. This means that the thickness of the layers containing the UV absorbers of the formula (1) can be very thin, which has a positive effect, for example, on the sharpness of the images produced by means of this material. Obviously, the use of a comparable amount of UV absorber gives even better protection.

Examples of magenta couplers may be simple 1-aryl-5-pyrazolones or pyrazole derivatives which have been condensed with 5-membered hetero rings, e.g. imidazopyrazoles, pyrazolopyrazoles, pyrazolotriazoles and pyrazolotetrazoles.
A group of magenta couplers comprises 5-pyrazolones of the formula C ##STR39## as described in British Patent 2 003 473. In this formula, R.sub.16 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl or a heterocyclic group. R.sub.17 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, a heterocyclic group, an ester group, an alkoxy group, an alkylthio group, a carboxyl group, an arylamino group, an acylamino group, a (thio)urea group, a (thio)carbamoyl group, a guanidino group or a sulfonamido group.
R.sub.17 is preferably an ##STR40## group, in which R.sub.18 is imino, acylamino or ureido, R.sub.19 is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl or alkoxy, R.sub.20 is hydrogen, alkyl, acylamino, carbamoyl, sulfamoyl, sulfonamido, alkoxycarbonyl, acyloxy or a urethane group.
If Q' is hydrogen, the magenta coupler is tetraequivalent with respect to the silver halide.
Typical examples of magenta couplers of this type are compounds of the formula ##STR41## in which R.sub.20 is as defined above, and Q', as described above, is a leaving group. These compounds are preferably present in the material according to the invention.
Further examples of tetraequivalent magenta couplers of this type are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,983,608, 3,061,432, 3,062,653, 3,127,269, 3,152,896, 3,311,476, 3,419, 391, 3,519,429, 3,558,319, 3,582,322, 3,615,506, 3 684 514, 3,834,908, 3,888,680, 3,891,445, 3,907,571, 3,928,044, 3,930,861, 3,930,866 and 3,933,500 and JP-A-89/309 058.
If Q' in the formula C is not hydrogen, but instead a group which is eliminated during the reaction with the oxidised developer, the magenta coupler is diequivalent. In this case, Q can be, for example, halogen or a group bonded to the pyrazole ting via O, S or N. Diequivalent couplers of this type give greater colour density and are more reactive towards the oxidised developer than are the corresponding tetraequivalent magenta couplers.
Examples of diequivalent magenta couplers are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,006,579, 3,419,391, 3,311,476, 3,432,521, 3,214,437, 4,032,346, 3,701,783, 4,351,897, 3,227,554, in EP-A-133 503, DE-A-2 944 601, JP-A-78/34 044, 74/53 435, 74/53 436, 75/53 372 and 75/122 935.
Typical and preferred magenta couplers conform to the formulae: ##STR42##
It is possible for 2 pyrazolone tings to be linked via a divalent Q', giving so-called bis-couplers. These are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,632,702, 2,618,864, GB-A-968 461, GB-A-786 859, JP-A-76/37 646, 59/4 086, 69/16 110, 69/26 589, 74/37 854 and 74/29 638. Y is preferably an O-alkoxyarylthio group.
As mentioned above, the magenta couplers used can also be pyrazoles condensed with 5-membered heterocyclic tings, known as pyrazoloazoles. Their advantages over simple pyrazoles is that they give dyes of greater formalin resistance and have purer absorption spectra.
Magenta couplers of the pyrazoloazole type, which are likewise preferred, may be represented by the formula ##STR43## in which R.sub.1 is hydrogen or a substituent, Z represents the non-metallic atoms necessary to complete a 5-membered ting containing 2 or 3 nitrogen atoms, it being possible for this ting to be substituted, and Q is hydrogen or a leaving group.

The UV absorbers of the formulae (I) and (III) used according to the invention can be incorporated into the colour-photographic material alone or together with the colour coupler and if desired further additives by predissolving them in high-boiling organic solvents. Preference is given to solvents which boil higher than 160.degree. C. Typical examples of these solvents are the esters of phthalic acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid or fatty acids, and alkylamides and phenols.
A low-boiling solvent is usually used in addition in order to simplify incorporation of the additives into the colour-photographic material. Examples of such solvents are esters, for example ethyl acetate, alcohols, for example butanol, ketones, for example methyl isobutyl ketone, chlorinated hydrocarbons, for example methylene chloride, and amides, for example dimethylformamide. If the additives are themselves liquid, they can also be incorporated into the photographic material without the assistance of solvents.
The UV absorbers according to this invention may also be dispersed without oil in the gelatine layer;, Research Disclosure 88/296017 and 89/303070.

Silver-halide emulsions which can be used are conventional silver chloride, silver bromide or silver iodide emulsions or mixtures thereof, such as silver chlorobromide and silver chloroiodide emulsions, in which the silver halides may have any known crystal form. The use of silver-chloride emulsions is particularly important in the material according to the invention. The preparation of such emulsions and the sensitisation thereof are described in RESEARCH DISCLOSURE, November 1989, No. 307 105.

EXAMPLE 12
The amount of UV absorber shown in the table below is dissolved in 2 ml of ethyl acetate. 1 ml of this solution is mixed with 9 ml of an aqueous gelatine solution (comprising 27.6 g/l of gelatine and 6.8 g/l of an 8% aqueous solution of 4,8-diisobutylnaphthalene-2-sulfonic acid (sodium salt) as wetting agent). This mixture is emulsified for 3 minutes by means of ultrasound. 7.5 ml of this UV absorber emulsion are mixed with 4.5 ml of an aqueous curing agent solution (comprising 0.24% of 2-hydroxy-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine, potassium salt). 8 ml of this emulsion are poured onto a polyester base (13.times.8 cm). The casting is cured for 7 days at room temperature. A UV spectrometer is then used to determine the values for the maximum density in the range from 330-380 nm. The sample is then exposed in an Atlas exposure unit with a total of 60 kJ/cm.sup.2, the maximum density is remeasured, and the difference (-DD in %) between the corresponding values is calculated:

Three step wedges having a density difference of 0.15 kJ per step are exposed (with blue, green and red light) onto each of the 3 samples 75-77.
The samples are then processed by the EP2 process (Kodak) for colour negative paper.
After exposure and processing, the remission densities in red for the cyan step, in green for the magenta step and in blue for the yellow step are measured at a density of between 0.9 and 1.1 of the wedges. The wedges are then exposed in an Atlas exposure unit with a total of 15 kJ/cm.sup.2, and the remission densities are remeasured.
The remission density before and after exposure is also measured for the magenta wedge in blue for yellowing.
The presence of the UV absorbers reduces the drop in dye density of the cyan, magenta and yellow image dye and the yellowing.
