Patent ID: 7846560

Claim:
A material for organic electroluminescence devices, which comprises a compound represented by following general formula (3): wherein R 1 to R 12 each independently represent hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents, a heterocyclic group having 3 to 60 carbon atoms and having no skeleton structure of benzotriazole which may have substituents, an alkoxyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an aryl group having 6 to 60 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an aryloxyl group having 6 to 60 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an aralkyl group having 7 to 60 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an alkenyl group having 2 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an alkylamino group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an aralkylamino group having 7 to 60 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an alkylsilyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an arylsilyl group having 8 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents, a ketoaryl group having 7 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents, a halogenated alkyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents or cyano group provided that each R8 to R12 do not represent an alkyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an aralkyl group having 7 to 60 carbon atoms which may have substituents, an alkenyl group having 2 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents, or a halogenated alkyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms which may have substituents; at least one of R 8 to R 12 representing hydrogen atom; adjacent groups among groups represented by R 1 to R 4 , among groups represented by R 5 to R 7 and among groups represented by R 8 to R 12 may be bonded to each other to form a saturated or unsaturated cyclic structure; and X represents sulfur atom, oxygen atom or a substituted silicon atom represented by SiRaRb, Ra and Rb each independently representing an alkyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, provided that the compound excludes 1,3,5-tris(4-dibenzothiophenyl)benzene.
