Abstract

A novel compound represented by general formula (1), a support supporting this novel compound, and a photoelectric transduction element using this support. (In the formula, Y is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group having 1-20 carbon atoms having —CO—NR4- or —SO 2 —NR4- in the group; Z is a group of a conjugated system; R1, R2, and R3 represent optionally substituted hydrocarbon groups or optionally substituted hydrocarbon-oxy groups; at least one of R1, R2, and R3 is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon-oxy group; R4 represents a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group having 1-20 carbon atoms; R4 and Z may join together to form a ring. However, Y excludes groups represented by partial structural formulas (Y-11) and (Y-12).)
