Photographic element containing particular coupler and inhibitor releasing coupler

摘要

A photographic element is disclosed comprising: a) a first light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a compound of Formula I:COUP1-(L)n-AI wherein 1) COUP1 is a coupler parent group capable of forming a dye upon reaction with oxidized developer wherein -(L)n-A is not attached to the coupling position; 2) L is a divalent linking group bonding A to COUP1, and n is 0 or 1; and 3) A is a fragment containing a group is identified by formulas IIIa. IIIb or IIIc: wherein: Het represents a heteroatom; Q represents the atoms necessary to form a five or six-membered ring; V represents an atom of oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen; and U represents an ether, thoiether or amino group; provided that the indicated formulas encompass the addition of one or more fused rings; and provided that the ClogP for the compound of Formula I is not greater than 20; and b) a second light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a compound of Formula II:COUP2-(TIME)j-INHII wherein: 1) COUP2 is a coupler parent group capable of forming a dye upon reaction with an oxidized developer; 2) TIME is a timing group and j is 0 or 1; and 3) INH is a mild silver development inhibitor fragment. The element provides improved color reproduction.
