Patent ID: 7674575

Claim:
A silver halide color photosensitive material for being subjected to color development within nine seconds of being exposed, the material comprising: a support; and a photograph constitution layer provided on the support, and including at least one layer that comprises a yellow dye-forming coupler, at least one layer that comprises a magenta dye-forming coupler, at least one layer that comprises a cyan dye-forming coupler, and at least one non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloid layer, wherein the coupler-comprising layers respectively include silver halide emulsions, and at least one of the silver halide emulsions has the following characteristics: (i) a silver chloride content of 90 mol % or more, wherein a silver iodide content of 0.02 to 1 mol % and a silver iodide-containing phase is formed in each of 85 to 100% of locations of the volume of a silver halide particle in the silver halide emulsion; and (ii) contains at least one metal complex represented by general formulae (IB) or (II): [IrX IB n L IB (6-n) ] m (IB) wherein X IB represents a halogen ion or a pseudo-halogen ion; L IB represents a heterocyclic compound; n represents 3, 4, or 5; and m represents 5−, 4−, 3−, 2−, 1−, 0, or 1+; [MX II n L II (6-n) ] m (II) wherein M represents Cr, Mo, Re, Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, Pd, or Pt; X II represents a halogen ion; L II represents an arbitrary ligand which is different from X II ; n represents 3, 4, 5, or 6; and m represents 4−, 3−, 2−, 1−, 0, or 1+, wherein at least one of the silver halide emulsions in the at least one silver halide emulsion layer that contains the yellow dye-forming coupler comprises a metal complex represented by general formula (IB) and a metal complex represented by general formula (II), wherein at least one of the silver halide emulsions contained in the at least one layer containing the yellow dye-forming coupler has the features (i) and (ii); wherein the total amount of silver in the photograph constitution layer in the photosensitive material is in the range from 0.2 g/m 2 to 0.45 g/m 2 .
