Material for organic electroluminescence element, and organic electroluminescence element using the same

A material for organic electroluminescent devices, comprising a compound represented by the following general formula (1):

• wherein A represents an alkylene group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms or an aminoalkylene group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms and containing at least one secondary or tertiary nitrogen atom, and the carbon atoms and nitrogen atom constituting a cyclic structure formed by the group represented by A may have any substituent groups;
• B represents a conjugated unsaturated chain containing three kinds of atoms including carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen or two kinds of atoms including carbon and hydrogen, and the carbon atoms constituting a cyclic structure formed by the group represented by B may have any substituent groups;
• and
• X is represented by L, L-Y or Y-L-Y wherein L is a group directly bonded to N;
• L represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 40 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms, a linear or branched and substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 5 to 40 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group having 6 to 40 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted di- or more valent heterocyclic group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms, a linear or branched and substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkylene group having 5 to 40 carbon atoms;
• and Y represents a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group having 6 to 40 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms, a linear or branched and substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 5 to 40 carbon atoms.
