DIRECTED SYNTHESIS OF ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS USED FOR PRODUCTION AND TREATMENT OF MOTION-PICTURE AND PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS

Results concerning directed synthesis of organic compounds used for pr oduction and treatment of motion picture and photographic materials ar e summarized and correlated. The interrelation between the structure a nd developing power of bisphenols, aminophenols, and phenylenediamines is considered. The nature of synergistic action of mixtures of develo pers is discussed. The principles of molecular design of agents modify ing the growth of silver halide microcrystals are considered. The inte rrelation between the molecular weight distribution of gelatin and its properties in the process of production of photographic materials is discussed.
