Disclosed is a trimethine dimer compound represented by the following general formula (I) and optical recording medium containing such a compound in a recording layer. (I)(In the formula, symbols are as in the description. When both Xa2 and Xb2 are imino groups, one of Xa1, Xb1, Xa3 and Xb3 is necessarily a 1-alkyl-1-benzylmethylene group which may have a substituent, a 1,1-dibenzylmethylene group which may have a substituent or a cycloalkane-1,1-diyl group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms which may have a substituent.)
