Silver halide photographic emulsion and silver halide photographic light-sensitive material containing the emulsion

A silver halide photographic emulsion in which tabular grains each having an equivalent-circle diameter of 0.6 μm or more, a thickness of 0.3 μm or less, and an aspect ratio of 2 or more account for 70% or more in number of all the grains contained in said emulsion, wherein each of said tabular grains has a multilayered structure including two or more layers, at least one of said layers contains 1 to 20 mol % of a chloride with respect to the silver amount contained in said at least one of said layers, and each of said tabular grains contains a metal complex represented by formula (C-1) or (C-2) below:

• [M1(CN)6-aLa]n (C-1)
• [M2(CN)4-bLb]m (C-2)
• wherein
• M1 represents Fe, Ru, Re, Os, Ir, or Pt;
• M2 represents Pt or Au;
• L represents a ligand except for CN;
• a represents 0, 1, or 2;
• b represents 0, 1, or 2;
• n represents 2-, 3-, or 4-;
• m represents 1- or 2-;
• and
• wherein 80% or more in number of said tabular grains have dislocation lines.
