Silver halide photographic light-sensitive material

Claim 1

A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support and at least one silver halide emulsion layer on the support, containing at least one sensitizing dye represented by formula (I) ##STR8## wherein R 1 and R 2 each represents a lower alkyl group substituted by a sulfo group, a carboxy group, or a hydroxyl group, provided that at least one of R 1 and R 2 represents a sulfoalkyl group; R 3 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted phenethyl group; R 4 represents a chlorine atom, a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, or a hydrogen atom; R 5 represents a chlorine atom, a phenyl group, a lower alkoxy group, or a lower alkyl group; wherein at least one of the silver halide emulsion layer and other hydrophilic colloid layers contains at least one compound represented by formula (II), (III), (IV), or (V) ##STR9## wherein R 21 represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having from 4 to 16 carbon atoms; R 31 and R 51 each represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having from 5 to 17 carbon atoms; R 32 and R 33 each represents an alkyl group having 4 or less carbon atoms, or a hydroxyalkyl group, provided that the total number of carbon atoms of R 32 and R 33 is 5 or less; R 41 and R 42 each represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, provided that the total number of carbon atoms in R 41 and R 42 is 18 or less; R 51 represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having from 5 to 17 carbon atoms; R 52 represents a methyl group, an ethyl group, or a propyl group; p is an integer of from 1 to 11; q is 2, 3, or 4; r is an integer of from 2 to 8; s is 0 or 1; t is 1, 2, or 3; u is 2, 3, or 4; and M 21 , M 42 and M 51 each represents a hydrogen atom or an alkali metal atom; and the silver halide grains contained in the silver halide emulsion are substantially tetradecahedral grains in which the proportion of (100) faces is at least 50%.
