These methine dyes are spectral sensitizers for photographic silver halide emulsions. A number of the new dyes extend the sensitivity of photographic silver halide emulsions into the 2 red and near infra-red regions of the s'pectrum.
spectrally sensitized with a methine dye comprising a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic nucleus having from 5 to 6 atoms in the heterocyclic ring, said nucleus being of the type used in cyanine dyes, said heterocyclic nucleus being joined by a dimethine linkage to the 2-carbon atom of a cyclopentanone nucleus.
Especially useful dyes which sensitize photographic silver halide emulsions to infra-red radiation are those which comprise first and second nitrogen-containing heterocyclic nuclei containing from 5 to 6 atoms in the heterocyclic ring, said nuclei being of the type 'used in cyanine dyes, said first nucleus being joined by a di methine linkage to the Z-carbon atom of a cyclopentanone ring, and said second nucleus being joined by a dimethine linkage to the S-carbon atom of said cyclopentanone nucleus.
The preferred cyanine dyes of the invention are rep- I resented by the following general formulas:

1967, now abandoned.
This invention relates to novel photographic materials, and more particularly to photographic silver halide emulsions spectrally sensitized with methine dyes.
We have now found that certain methine dyes are" excellent spectral sensitizers for bothblack and white and color photographic silver halide materials. 'A'-number of these new dyes extend the sensitivity of photo-' graphic silver halide emulsions into the red and near infra-red regions of the spectrum. 1 1
