TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Composition: The semiconductor contains metal chalcogenide chosen from titanium, tin, zinc, iron, copper, tungsten, zirconium, hafnium, strontium, indium, cerium, yttrium, lanthanum, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, cadmium, lead, silver, antimony, bismuth, molybdenum, aluminum, gallium, chromium, cobalt and/or nickel. EXAMPLE - 2-methyl benzo thiazole (in g) (1.49) and bromoacetic acid (3) were dissolved in m-cresol (4 ml). The resulting solution was heat-stirred at 140degreesC for 8 hours. The obtained residue was washed 3 times with diethyl ether (5 ml) and further washed 4 times with acetone (5 ml). Nitrogen-containing compound (1.35) of formula (J-01) and acetic anhydride (10 ml) were added to the resulting product, and heat-refluxed for 15 minutes. The resulting product was washed with water (20 ml) and acetone (10 ml). The obtained residue was purified, to obtain benzene derivative (0.23) of formula (F-05). The photoelectric conversion material was obtained using the obtained benzene derivative. The obtained photoelectric conversion material provided optoelectric transducer with excellent conversion efficiency.
