Claim:
A photoelectric conversion element comprising a pair of electrodes containing therebetween a compound represented by Formula (1) or Formula (2): wherein R 1 , R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 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; R 2 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, or a substituted or unsubstituted amino group; R 6 , R 7 and R 8 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; R 1 may be combined with a neighboring group to form a ring; R 7 and R 8 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 R 1 is a phenyl group, (a+b+c+d) is 1 or more, or one of R 3 , R 4 and R 5 is a group other than a hydrogen atom; and when a plurality of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 or R 8 are contained, the plurality of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 or R 8 may be the same or different, wherein R 11 to R 17 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; R 11 and R 12 may be combined to form a ring; X 1 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 R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , R 14 , R 15 , R 16 , or R 17 are contained, the plurality of R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , R 14 , R 15 , R 16 , or R 17 may be the same or different.
