Abstract
A microprecipitated dispersion comprising a methine oxonol filter dye is provided which has the formula ##STR1## wherein n is 0, 1, or 2; R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are the same or different substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl groups, one or more of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 contains carboxy substituent --CO.sub.2 Z, wherein Z.sup.+ is a statistical mixture of hydrogen (H.sup.+) and alkali or tetraalkylammonium cations (M.sup.+) such that Z.sup.+ =xH.sup.+ +(1-x)M.sup.+, where x is a decimal ranging from about 0.33 to about 0.95, and photographic elements containing them.
Claims18
A photographic element comprising a support having disposed thereon a radiation sensitive emulsion layer and a layer, which is the same or different from the radiation sensitive layer, comprising an amount effective as a photographic filter dye of a microprecipitated methine oxonol filter dye dispersion comprising a filter dye having the formula:
- ##STR39## wherein n is 0, 1, or 2;
- R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are the same or different substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl groups, one or more of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 contains carboxy substituent --CO.sub.2 Z, wherein Z.sup.+ is a statistical mixture of hydrogen (H.sup.+) and alkali or tetraalkylammonium cations (M.sup.+) such that Z.sup.+ =xH.sup.+ +(1-x)M.sup.+, where x is a decimal ranging from about 0.33 to about 0.95.
