Abstract (en)

A silver halide photographic element comprises at least one silver halide emulsion spectrally sensitized by a molecule of formula I: (Dye 1) - (L - Ä(Dye 2)Ün)m wherein Dye 1 comprises a first chromophore and Dye 2 comprises a second chromophore, wherein Dye 1 adsorbs to silver halide more strongly then Dye 2, and Dye 1 absorbs light at a longer wavelength then Dye 2, L is an organic linking group containing at least one hetero atom which is not part of an amide or ester group, and m and n are independently an integer of 1-3. <IMAGE>
