In this study, benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye was used as sensitizer for photographic emulsion, and the photographic characteristics were examined. The basic properties of sensitizer such as stability in various solvents were examined. The sensitizer was very stable in methanol, acetonitrile, acetone, dimethylformamide, and chloroform solution. Absorption spectra of benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye $2.5{ imes}10^{-6}M$ and $5{ imes}10^{-6}M$ concentrations in 10% aqueous methanol solutions containing $10^{-2}M$ potassium chloride show the monomer-J-aggregation characteristics. Compared to the absorption peak of the monomer in pure methanol solution, the red shifts of the monomer-J-aggregate peaks of benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye of $2.5{ imes}10^{-6}M$ and $5{ imes}10^{-6}M$ concentrations in 10% aqueous methanol solutions containing $10^{-2}M$ potassium chloride are 34nm respectively, and the sensitizing peak of benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye in photographic emulsion has red shift of 34nm. Therefore, if was concluded that benzoxazolo carbocyanine dye can be used as green sensitizing dye for the spectral sensitization of photographic emulsion.
