Patent ID: 7960040

Claim:
An organic electroluminescence device comprising at least an organic layer between a pair of electrodes, wherein the organic electroluminescence device includes at least an interlocked compound, wherein the interlocked compound is a compound represented by one of the following formula (I), (II) or (III): wherein, in the formula (I), M 1 represents a metal; L 11 , L 12 , L 13 and L 14 each independently represent an atomic group coordinated to the metal; and Y 11 and Y 12 each independently represent a linking group; wherein, in the formula (II), M 2 represents a metal; L 21 , L 22 , L 23 and L 24 each independently represent an atomic group coordinated to the metal; and Y 21 and Y 22 each independently represent a linking group; wherein, in the formula (III), M 3 represents a metal; L 31 , L 32 , L 33 , L 34 , L 35 and L 36 each independently represent an atomic group coordinated to the metal; and Y 31 and Y 32 each independently represent a linking group, and wherein a layer containing the interlocked compound is a hole injection layer.
