[Compound Represented by Formula (I)]
A diaryl-azole compound of the present invention is a compound represented by Formula (I) (hereinafter, referred to as compound (I) in some cases) or a salt of compound (I).
In the present invention, the term “unsubstituted” means that only a group which is a mother nucleus is present. When only the name of a group as a mother nucleus is described without the term “substituted”, it means “unsubstituted” unless otherwise specified.
On the other hand, the term “substituted (=having a substituent)” means that at least one hydrogen atom of a group as a mother nucleus is substituted with a group having a structure which is the same as or different from the mother nucleus. Therefore, a “substituent” is another group which is bonded to the group as the mother nucleus. The substituent may be one, or two or more. Two or more substituents may be the same as or different from each other.
The term “C1-6” represents that the number of carbon atoms of a group as a mother nucleus is 1 to 6. The number of carbon atoms does not include the number of carbon atoms present in a substituent. For example, a butyl group having an ethoxy group as a substituent is classified as a C2 alkoxy C4 alkyl group.
