Patent ID: 7741017

Claim:
A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising at least one compound represented by the following Formula (IV): X-(L 1 ′) n -Y 3 Formula (IV) wherein: X represents one of a five-, six- or seven-membered heterocycle having, as constitutents of its ring structure, three or more heteroatoms; a five-, six- or seven-membered heterocycle which has a quaternary nitrogen atom and is represented by the following “a”; a five-, six- or seven-membered heterocycle which includes nitrogen and has a thioxo group and is represented by the following “b”; a five-, six-, or seven-membered heterocycle which includes nitrogen and is represented by the following “c”; and a five-, six-, or seven-membered heterocycle which includes nitrogen and is represented by the following “d” or “e” wherein Z represents an atomic group required to form a nitrogen-containing five-, six-or seven-membered heterocycle; R 1 represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group or an alkynyl group; L 1 , and L 2 respectively represents a methine group; and n 2 represents 0, 1 or 2, n denotes an integer of 0 or 1; L 1 ′ represents a divalent connecting group, provided that the atom of L 1 ′, which is directly connected to Y 3 , is a carbon atom; Y 3 is any group selected from the groups represented by the following (B 1 ), (B 2 ) or (B 4 ); and R b1 , R b2 and R b3 in the groups represented by the following (B 1 ), (B 2 ) or (B 4 ) respectively denote one of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aryl group and a heterocyclic group, provided that when Y 3 is a group represented by (B 1 ), n is 1 and L 1 ′ is a heterocyclic group having a divalent carbon atom directly connected to Y 3 , and when Y 3 is a group represented by (B 2 ) and R b1 is a hydrogen atom, n is 1 and L 1 ′ has a carbon atom which is directly connected to Y 3 , which carbon atom is part of an alkylene group or —CO— in L 1 ′
