A silver halide photographic element comprising a sensitizing dye of the formula:n n wherein: n X1, X2, n, L, L2, R1 and R2 are as defined in the specification; n Z1 represents Ar1-(L1)m, where Ar1 is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group, L1 is a linking group, m is 0 or 1, and the LOGP(A) of a molecule having a structure A corresponding to a portion of the dyen n is no more than 90% of LOGP(A'), where A' is the same as A except Z1 is replaced with unsubstituted phenyl, provided that L1 is not -CO- when X1 or X2 is S or Se; and n W1 is a counterion as needed to balance the charge of the molecule. |
