(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To develop a novel infrared compound, an optical recording medium using the same, and an infrared cut filter. SOLUTION: The following formula (1): (In the formula (1), R1 to R16 represent a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkenyl group, or an aryl group, which may be the same or different. And B and C may have a substituent.) And an infrared-absorbing compound obtained by oxidizing the compound represented by the formula: |
