Photoelectric conversion element containing photoelectric conversion element material

A photoelectric conversion device comprising one or two or more organic layers between two electrodes, wherein at least one of the organic layers contains a material for a photoelectric conversion device represented by the following general formula (1):

• wherein X1 each independently represents O, S, or N—R1;
• R1 each independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic group having 3 to 17 carbon atoms;
• Ar1 to Ar3 each independently represent deuterium, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic group having 3 to 17 carbon atoms, or a group having a tricyclic condensed-ring structure represented by any of the following formulae (2a) to (2e), or a substituted or unsubstituted linked aromatic group in which two to five of any of a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic group having 3 to 17 carbon atoms, and the following formulae (2a) to (2e) are linked, wherein Ar1 to Ar3 are each independently represented by the following formula (2c) or (2d) when the tricyclic condensed-ring structure is contained at the terminal, or Ar1 to Ar3 are each independently represented by the formula (2a), (2b), or (2e) when the tricyclic condensed-ring structure is not contained at the terminal and there are two bonding sites;
• “*” represents a point of bonding;
• Ar4 independently represents hydrogen, deuterium, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted linked aromatic group in which two to five of these aromatic groups are linked;
• X2 each independently represents a single bond, O, S, or N—R2, and R2 each independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic group having 3 to 17 carbon atoms;
• “s” and “t” independently represent the number of substitution, “s” and “t” independently represent an integer of 0 to 2, and “a” represents the number of substitution and represents an integer of 1 or 2;
• provided that, when “a” is 1, at least one of Ar1 to Ar3 contains the group having the tricyclic condensed-ring structure represented by any of the formulae (2a) to (2e).
