The present invention addresses the problem of providing a conjugated compound that can be used as an n-type semiconductor having excellent electron transport properties, and that has excellent solubility in solvents. The conjugated compound of a preferred embodiment is represented by formula (I). [R 01 and R 02 each represent a monovalent group containing an alkane skeleton. R 11 , R 12 , R 21 and R 22 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a monovalent group. X 11 , X 12 , X 21 and X 22 each represent an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or the group represented by formula (a); however, one of X 11 , X 12 , X 21 and X 22 is a sulfur atom or the group represented by formula (a). Z 1 and Z 2 each represent one of formulas (i) to (ix). Ar 0 , Ar 1 and Ar 2 each represent an aromatic hydrocarbon group or a heterocyclic group. r represents an integer from 1 to 6, and s and t represent integers from 0 to 6. Each A represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a monovalent group; however, one A is an electron withdrawing group. R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a monovalent group.] |
