Abstract

A dye-forming physical development amplification process based on the catalytic reduction of tetrazolium salts to corresponding formazan dyes is described. A wide range of image hues can be produced by variations in the structural parameters of the T-salt. Using vacuum-deposited metal nuclei as a model for the latent-image centres, some of these amplification solutions have been shown to require only 2-3 Pd atoms to catalyze the dye-formation reaction.

Résumé

Le procédé décrit met en œuvre un développement physique chromogène basé sur la réduction catalytique des sels de tétrazolium en les colorants formazan correspondants. Des teintes très différentes peuvent être obtenues en faisant varier les paramétres de structure du sel T. En utilisant des nuclei métalliques déposés sous vide comme modèle d’image latente.

on a montré que certaines solutions développatrices requièrent seulement 2 à 3 atomes de Pd pour catalyser la réaction de formation du colorant.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird ein Verstärkungsprozess nach Art einer physikalischen Entwicklung beschrieben, der auf der katalytischen Reduktion von Tetrazoliumsalzcn zu den entsprechenden Formazan-Farbstoffen basiert.

Durch Variation der Struktur des Tetrazoliumsalzes lässt sich der Farbton des Reaktionsproduktes innerhalb weiter Grenzen verändern. Bei Verwendung von aufgedampften Metallkeimen als Modell-Latentbildzentren wurde gefunden, dass einige der Verstärkerbäder nur Zentren von 2 bis 3 Pd-Atomen benötigen, um die Farbstoifbildung zu katalysieren.

Riassunto

Viene descritto un processo di amplificazione con uno sviluppo fisico formante colorante basato sulla riduzione catalitica dei sali di tetrazolio nei corrispondeti coloranti forma- zanici. Variando i parametri strutturali dei sali di tetrazolio è possibile ottenere una ampia gradazione di imagine. Facendo uso di nuclei metallici depositati sotto vuoto come modello di centri di immagine latente, si è trovato che alcune delle soluzioni amplificatrici richiedono soltanto 2-3 atomi di Pd per catalizzare la reazione di formazione di colore.
