The present invention provides a dispersant excellent in the solubility to a solvent, the adsorption power to a coloring material, and the coloring material dispersibility, and reduced in the self-coloring property, a compound and a polymerizable compound for preparing the dispersant, and a toner using the dispersant. The dispersant has a structure in which a structure represented by the following specific formula (3) or a tautomer thereof is bonded with a polymer, and the toner contains the dispersant. 

Compound, dispersant and toner

To provide a pigment dispersion liquid which provides an ink capable of recording an image having high fixability and fastness such as scratch resistance and excellent quality stably for a long time in any conditions. A pigment dispersion liquid mainly containing a polymer dispersant, a coloring material and water, in which the polymer dispersant is formed of at least a hydrophobic unit and a hydrophilic unit, the hydrophobic unit having a block portion formed of at least one hydrophobic monomer, the coloring material is formed of a pigment having on its surface an acid form anionic group, and the pigment dispersion liquid further contains a basic compound capable of forming a complex with an alkaline metal.
