Abstract: Compounds described herein are suitable for use in three-dimensional optical recording materials, etc. The compounds each have a structure that allows pi-electron conjugation to be achieved by linking a porphyrin ring and a perinaphthothioindigo ring to each other with a straight-chain atomic group. The compounds are suitable for use in three-dimensional optical recording materials, etc. since they have a high two-photon absorption efficiency and undergo photochromism effectively through optical absorption. The compounds include those represented by the following formula (1): P1—[Y]—P2??(1) where P1 corresponds to a porphyrin ring; P2 corresponds to a perinaphthothioindigo ring a hydrogen atom, or a halogen atom; and Y is a group that links P1 and P2.

Abstract: A photoelectric transfer material, manufacturing method thereof, photoelectric transfer element and manufacturing method thereof are provided. In an organic photoelectric transfer element of an organic solar cell or other like device, the photoelectric transfer material is composed of a conductive polymer such as MEH-PPV, electronic acceptor such as a fullerene derivative and antenna porphyrin aggregate. The photoelectric transfer material can be made by coating a mixed solution of the conductive polymer, electron acceptor and antenna porphyrin aggregate by spin coating, for example. This photoelectric transfer material and a photoelectric transfer element using the material exhibit high photoelectric transfer efficiency because of small electric resistance and high sunlight usage efficiency, and simultaneously exhibit stability.
