Adsorption on silver halide

It has been necessary to understand the relationship between molecular fine structure of cyanine dyes and important properties such as colour, dye aggregation, adsorption on silver halide and electrochemical potentials in order to design and prepare sensitizers with optimum performance. For general discussion of these topics and the mechanism of spectral sensitization, the reader is referred to recent surveys on the subject (B-77MI11401, 77HC(30)441). 

The coverage has been limited to the applications of coordination compounds or of the coordination chemistry of relatively soluble ligands and metal species. Numerous chemical agents in photographic systems function by means of adsorption on silver halide grains and silver metal surfaces. Such chemical interactions lie outside the confines of coordination chemistry defined for this work and have not been discussed.
