Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0731381A1] A photographic developing solution and a method of developing silver halide materials in the said developing solution is disclosed, the said developing solution comprising hydroquinone in an amount from 0 to 30 g per litre, an auxiliary developer, and silver halide complexing agents in an amount from 0 to 50 g per litre, characterised in that said developer further comprises in amounts from 0.1 to 5 g per litre a compound corresponding to the formula (I), accompanied by charge compensating anions, Z' N<+>-R-N<+> Z" wherein at least divalent group R contains at least one oxyethylene group and wherein Z' and Z'', being the same or different, are composed of enough atoms to form a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic aromatic 5- or 6-ring; and at least 1 g of a compound corresponding to the formula (II), a precursor thereof, a derivative thereof and/or a metal salt thereof <CHEM> wherein each of A, B and D independently represents an oxygen atom or NR<1>; X represents an oxygen atom, a sulphur atom, NR<2>; CR<3>R<4>; C=O; C=NR<5> or C=S; Y represents an oxygen atom, a sulphur atom, NR<'2>; CR<'3>R<'4>; C=O; C=NR<'5> or C=S; Z represents an oxygen atom, a sulphur atom, NR<''2>; CR<''3>R<''4>; C=O; C-NR<''5> or C=S; n equals 0, 1 or 2; each of R<1> to R<5> R<'1> to R<'5> and R<''1> to R<''5>, independently represents hydrogen, subsituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aralkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl; substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl or substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclyl; and wherein R<3> and R<4>, R<'3> and R<'4>, R<''3> and R<''4>, may further form together a ring; and wherein in the case that X=CR<3>R<4> and Y=CR<'3>R<'4>, R<3> and R<'3> and/or R<4> and R<'4> may form a ring and wherein in the case that Y=CR<'3>R<'4> and Z=CR<''3>R<''4> with n= 1 or 2, R<'3> and R<''3> and/or R<'4> and R<''4> may form a ring.
