Provided is a light-absorbing material which makes it possible to achieve highly efficient photoelectric conversion when used in a photoelectric conversion element. The light-absorbing material has a structure represented by the following formula (1). X-Y... (1) X is a light-absorbing site, and Y is a radical site that becomes a radical when in an oxidized state and/or when in a reduced state and that is capable of repeated oxidation-reduction. |
