Abstract

Abstract A silver halide photographic material is disclosed, which comprises a support and at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer formed thereon, said emulsion layer containing at least one nucleating agent represented by formula (I) wherein A₁ and A₂ both represent a hydrogen atom, or one of A₁ and A₂ represents a hydrogen atom and the other repre­sents a sulfinic acid residue or an acyl group; R₁ repre­sents an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or a hetero­cyclic group; R₂ represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, or an amino group; G represents a carbonyl group, a sulfonyl group, a sulfoxy group, a phosphoryl group, or an iminometh­ylene group; and Y represents a phenylene group or a naphth­ylene group; the sum of the total carbon atoms of said R₁, R₂, and Y being at least 13. The nucleating agent provides very high contrast images when used in a negative working silver halide emulsion.
