Disclosed is an organic thin film solar cell material, which has high solubility that enables the formation of a thick film, which is capable of improving the optical absorption, by a coating process. The organic thin film solar cell material exhibits a sufficient carrier transport ability even when formed into a thick film. The organic thin film solar cell material is characterized by being applied between a negative electrode and a positive electrode, and containing a compound having at least a partial structure represented by general formula (1). (In the formula, Z 1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic ring; Z 2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon ring or aromatic heterocyclic ring; and R 1 represents a substituent selected from among a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group and a heteroaryl group.) |
