An organic electroluminescence device which exhibits an excellent purity of color and a high efficiency of light emission, has a long life and emits reddish light and a novel compound having these characteristics are provided.
The organic electroluminescence device comprises an organic layer disposed between at least one pair of electrodes, wherein the organic layer comprises a compound represented by general formula [1]:
wherein R 1 to R 14 each independently represent hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryloxy group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an arylalkyl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, an arylamino group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, an alkylamino group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms or an arylalkylamino group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, the groups being substituted or unsubstituted; and at least one pair of R among R 1 to R 14 which are adjacent to each other do not represent hydrogen atom but represent groups which form a cyclic structure in combination.
