This invention relates to new compounds of the formula ##STR1## m is 1 or 2, n is 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, Z represents a polyamine radical containing a basic tertiary or a quaternary nitrogen atom. The compounds of formula (m) an useful as crosslinking agents. They are particularly useful for crosslinking gelatine, preferably gelatin present in layers of photographic material.

N(.beta.-chloro-propionyl or acryloyl)carbamyl or ureido piperazines

The present invention relates to a process for crosslinking hydrophilic colloids which contain amino-, imino- and/or hydroxyl groups. Compounds of the formula ##EQU1## are used as crosslinking agents. In the formula V and W denote hydrogen atoms or organic radicals, X and Y represent vinyl groups or substituted vinyl groups or groups which can be converted into vinyl groups, Z represents an organic bridge member and m is an integer from one to 11. The compounds used as cross-linking agents, except those of the above formula wherein X and Y represent groups which can be converted into vinyl groups, are new and form part of the invention; also forming another aspect of the invention are photographic materials containing celloids cross-linked as per the above process.
