Dye for photoelectric conversion device and photoelectric conversion device

A photoelectric conversion device comprising:

• an electrode having a dye and a support that supports the dye, wherein the dye contains a cyanine compound expressed by Formula (1).
• (R1 and R2 are respectively and independently a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group, or a halogen atom;
• or an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or a derivative thereof. a and b are respectively and independently an integer number out of 0 to 4. R3 to R6 are respectively and independently a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group, or a halogen atom;
• or an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or a derivative thereof. At least one of R3 and R4 and at least one of R5 and R6 may be respectively detached to form double bond, or may be respectively linked with each other to form one or more ring structures. X1 is a group expressed by —C(R7)(R8)-, a group expressed by —N(R9)-, a sulfur atom, an oxygen atom, a selenium atom, or a tellurium atom. X2 is a group expressed by —C(R10)(R11)-, a group expressed by —N(R12)-, a sulfur atom, an oxygen atom, a selenium atom, or a tellurium atom. R7, R8, R10, and R11 are respectively and independently a hydrogen atom or a group expressed by Formula (2);
• or an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or a derivative thereof except for a group corresponding to the group shown in Formula (2). R9 and R12 are respectively and independently a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group, or a halogen atom;
• or an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or a derivative thereof. Y1 and Y2 are respectively and independently an anchor group;
• or an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, or a derivative thereof. At least one of Y1 and Y2 is an anchor group. Q is a linkage group that has a methine chain with carbon atomicity from 1 to 7 both inclusive as a skeleton. Anp− is an anion with p valency. p is 1 or 2, and q is a coefficient to maintain neutral electric charge.)
• (Bond between L1 and T1 is double bond or triple bond. L1 represents a carbon atom. T1 represents a carbon atom, an oxygen atom, or a nitrogen atom. x, y, and z are respectively and independently 0 or 1 (x and y are 0 where T1 is an oxygen atom, and (y+z) is 0 or 1 where T1 is a nitrogen atom). R21 to R23 are respectively and independently a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group, a halogen atom, an alkyl group with carbon atomicity from 1 to 4 both inclusive, or a halogenated alkyl group with carbon atomicity from 1 to 4 both inclusive. R24 is a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group, a halogen atom, an alkyl group with carbon atomicity from 1 to 4 both inclusive, an alkoxy group with carbon atomicity from 1 to 4 both inclusive, a halogenated alkyl group with carbon atomicity from 1 to 4 both inclusive, or a halogenated alkoxy group with carbon atomicity from 1 to 4 both inclusive. R21 and R24/R22 and R23 may be respectively linked with each other to form one or more ring structures. n is an integer number out of 0 to 4.)
