Silver halide light sensitive emulsion layer having enhanced photographic sensitivity

This invention comprises a photographic element comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer in which the silver halide is sensitized with a compound of the formula X-H, wherein X is an electron donor moiety to which a base, B-, is covalently linked and H is a leaving hydrogen atom, and wher...

More Information
Summary:This invention comprises a photographic element comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer in which the silver halide is sensitized with a compound of the formula X-H, wherein X is an electron donor moiety to which a base, B-, is covalently linked and H is a leaving hydrogen atom, and wherein: 1) X-H has an oxidation potential between 0 and about 1.4 V; and 2) the oxidized form of X-H undergoes deprotonation reaction with the base B-, to give the radical X. and the protonated base B-H. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the radical X. has an oxidation potential <-0.7V.
