Silver halide photographic photosensitive materials

A silver halide photographic photosensitive material which contains at least one dye represented by formula (I) below:

• ##STR57## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group or a CONHR, SO.sub.2 NHR, NHSO.sub.2 R, NHCOR or NHCONHR group, wherein R is an alkyl group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group or a hydroxy group, an aryl group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, an alkoxy group or an amino group, or a heterocyclic group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxy group, a methyl group, a methoxy group, or a halogen atom;
• R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group or an NHSO.sub.2 R or NHCOR group wherein R is an alkyl group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group or a hydroxy group, an aryl group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, an alkoxy group or an amino group, or a heterocyclic group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxy group, a methyl group, a methoxy group, or a halogen atom, or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may be joined together and represent a group of atoms which is required to form an aromatic ring;
• R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group or a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group or a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxy group, an amino group which may be substituted with a sulfobutyl group or a carboxymethyl group, or a halogen atom;
• R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are the same or different and each represents an alkyl group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group or a hydroxy group, an aryl group which may be substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, an alkoxy group or an amino group, an acyl group or a sulfonyl group;
• R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 may be joined together to form a five or six membered ring;
• R.sup.6 or R.sup.7 may be joined with the adjacent R.sup.5 respectively to form a five or six membered ring;
• n represents an integer of 0 to 3;
• wherein there are at least five sulfonic acid groups and/or carboxylic acid groups within the dye.
