Photoelectric Conversion Element and Solar Cell

A photoelectric conversion element comprising a pair of electrodes containing therebetween a compound represented by Formula (1) or Formula (2):

• wherein
• R1, R3, R4, and R5 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle group;
• R2, R6, R7 and R8 each represent a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle group;
• R1 may be combined with a neighboring group to form a ring;
• R7 and R8 may be combined to form a ring;
• X represents an organic group having an acid group;
• a and c each represent an integer of 0 to 5;
• b and d each represent an integer of 0 to 4;
• m represents an integer of 0 to 4;
• n represents an integer of 1 or 2;
• when R1 is a phenyl group, (a+b+c+d) is 1 or more, or one of R3, R4 and R5 is a group other than a hydrogen atom;
• and
• when a plurality of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 or R8 are contained, the plurality of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 or R8 may be the same or different,
• wherein
• R11 to R17 each represent a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted amino group or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle group;
• R11 and R12 may be combined to form a ring;
• X1 represents an organic group having an acid group;
• A1, b1 and m1 each represent an integer of 0 to 4;
• and
• when a plurality of R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, or R17 are contained, the plurality of R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, or R17 may be the same or different.
