Essentially colorless, hydrophilic ligand-releasing polymers are prepared from ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers represented by the structure:
wherein R' is hydrogen or lower alkyl, COUP is a photographic color coupling moiety, LINK is a coupling-off group which can be cleaved by an oxidized developer composition, and LIG is a ligand capable of complexing with metal ions, while joined to the polymer, to form a dye. These polymers also have recurring units which impart hydrophilicity to the polymer. These polymers form metal complex dyes in unexposed areas of photographic elements only, while the ligand is cleaved from the polymer in the exposed areas and washed out of the element.
基本无色的亲水配体释放聚合物是由结构如下的乙烯不饱和可聚合单体制备的:
其中,R' 是氢或低级烷基,COUP 是感光颜色偶联基团,LINK 是可被氧化显影组合物裂解的偶联基团,LIG 是能与金属离子络合形成染料的配体。这些聚合物还具有可赋予聚合物亲水性的循环单元。这些聚合物只在感光元件的未暴露区域形成金属络合染料,而配体则在暴露区域从聚合物中裂解并被冲出感光元件。
