High chloride emulsion doped with combination of metal complexes

A photographic silver halide emulsion is disclosed comprised of radiation sensitive composite silver halide grains including host grain portions accounting for at least 50 percent of total silver and surface portions epitaxially deposited on the host grain portions. The epitaxially deposited surface portions on the host grain portions exhibit a face centered cubic crystal lattice structure containing a hexacoordination complex of a metal from periods 4, 5 and 6 of groups 3 to 14 inclusive of the periodic table of elements in which one or more organic ligands each containing at least one carbon-to-carbon bond, at least one carbon-to-hydrogen bond or at least one carbon-to-nitrogen-to-hydrogen bond sequence occupy up to half the metal coordination sites in the coordination complex and at least half of the metal coordination sites in the coordination complex are provided by halogen or pseudohalogen ligands.

Silver halide emulsions with doped epitaxy

A process is disclosed of preparing a radiation sensitive silver halide emulsion comprising reacting silver and halide ions in a dispersing medium in the presence of a metal hexacoordination or tetracoordination complex having at least one organic ligand and at least half of the metal coordination sites occupied by halide or pseudohalide ligands. The metal forming the complex is chosen from periods 4, 5 and 6 and groups 3 to 14 inclusive of the periodic table of elements. The incorporation of the transition metal ion dopant and at least one organic ligand into the cubic crystal lattice of the silver halide grains can be used to improve photographic performance.

A process is disclosed of preparing a radiation sensitive silver halide emulsion comprising reacting silver and halide ions in a dispersing medium in the presence of a metal hexacoordination or tetracoordination complex having at least one organic ligand containing a least one carbon-to-carbon bond, at least one carbon-to-hydrogen bond, or at least one carbon-to-nitrogen-to-hydrogen bond sequence and at least half of the metal coordination sites occupied by halide or pseudohalide ligands. The metal forming the complex is chosen from periods 4, 5 and 6 and groups 3 to 13 inclusive of the periodic table of elements. The incorporation of the transition metal ion dopant and at least one organic ligand into the cubic crystal lattice of the silver halide grains can be used to improve photographic performance.

Internally doped silver halide emulsions and processes for their

Photographic silver halide emulsions are disclosed comprised of radiation sensitive silver halide grains containing greater than 50 mole percent chloride and less than 5 mole percent iodide, based on total silver, with any residual halide being bromide, said grains exhibiting a face centered cubic crystal lattice structure formed in the presence of a hexacoordination complex of rhenium, ruthenium, or osmium with at least four cyanide ligands. The emulsions exhibit increased sensitivity.

Photographic emulsions containing internally modified silver halide

Photographic emulsions are disclosed comprised of radiation sensitive silver bromide grains optionally containing iodide. The grains exhibit a face centered cubic crystal lattice structure and are formed in the presence of a hexacoordination complex of rhenium, ruthenium, or osmium with at least four cyanide ligands.
