Silver halide photographic material

Abstract

A silver halide photographic material is described, which contains the methine compound represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein Z.sup.1 represents a nonmetal atomic group necessary for completing a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring which may be condensed; R.sup.1 represents an aliphatic or aromatic group which may be substituted; G.sup.1 represents a hydroxyl group, an amino group, an aliphatic or aromatic primary amino group, a hydroxyamino group, an alkoxyamino group, an acylamino group, or an aliphatic or aromatic sulfonamido group; G.sup.2 is a group substituted at the position adjacent to G and is a group represented by T.sup.2 --C(.dbd.T.sup.1)--; .dbd.T.sup.1 represents .dbd.O, .dbd.NH, .dbd.NOH, an alkoxyimino group, an aliphatic or aromatic imino group, an acylimino group, or an aliphatic or aromatic sulfonylimino group; T.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an amino group, a primary or secondary amino group, a carbonamido group, an aliphatic or aromatic sulfonamido group or a ureido group; p represents 0 or 1; and Q represents a residue for forming a methine dye.
