Abstract

Abstract A photoresponsive material containing a dye compound having a cyclodextrin or its derivative as a substituent. The photoresponsive material exhibits increased light absorptivity by increasing the amount of spectral sensitizer, the dye compound. The photoresponsive material is useful as a photographic emulsion and the like.
