Abstract:
A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having provided thereon at least one emulsion layer containing silver halide grains, which comprises at least one compound represented by the following formula (I): wherein Z1 and Z2 each represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a selenium atom, a tellurium atom or a NR group, R represents an alkyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group, L1, L2 and L3 each represents a methine group, n1 represents 0, 1, 2 or 3, V1, V2, V3, V4, W1, W2, W3 and W4 each represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, provided that two substituents may be combined with each other to form a condensed ring on the condition that assuming the sum total of &pgr; values of the substituents V1 to V4 is &pgr;v and the sum total of &pgr; values of the substituents W1 to W4 is &pgr;w, either one of &pgr;v and &pgr;w is 0.70 or less and the other is 0.70 or more, M represents a charge-balancing counter ion, m represents a number necessary for neutralizing the electric charge of the molecule, R1 represents an alkyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group, and R2 represents a substituent represented by the following formula:_(Le)keCOOH wherein Le represents a methylene group, and ke represents an integer of 1 or more.
