Disclosed is a method of proving the authenticity of goods or a support comprising using a compound represented by Formula (I).
wherein, in Formula (I), each of R11 to R46 independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent group, wherein when a benzene ring is substituted with any of R11 to R46, any groups adjacent to each other among R11 to R46 may be bonded each other to form a ring; M represents a hydrogen atom, a metal ion, or a group containing a metal ion; and n represents 1 or 2. The infrared absorption efficiency is high and the deterioration in infrared absorption over time is ameliorated.
