Patent ID: 8338701

Claim:
A photoelectric conversion device comprising an oxide semiconductor fine material sensitized with a methine dye represented by the following formula (18): wherein, A8-A10 independently are an optionally substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, an optionally substituted aromatic hydrocarbon residue, an optionally substituted heterocyclic residue, an optionally substituted amino group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxyl group, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a cyano group, an alkoxycarbonyl group or an acyl group; when n4 is 2 or more and A8 and A9 are present in plural, each of which may independently be the same or different; A8-A10, present in plural in the same molecular, may be bonded to form an optionally substituted ring; Y4 represents an optionally substituted aromatic hydrocarbon residue, an optionally substituted heterocyclic residue or an optionally substituted organic metal complex residue; R10 is a carboxyl group or hydroxyl group; when present in plural, each of R10 may independently be the same or different; n4 represents an integer from 0 to 4; n6 represents an integer from 1 to 3.
