Compound, charge transporting material and organic electroluminescent element

A compound represented by the following formula (II) and which does not form a plane structure in an optimized geometry:

• wherein R11, R13, R15 and R18 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or an arbitrary substituent, R12, R14, R16 and R17 each independently represents an arbitrary substituent, Z11 represents a direct bond or a divalent connector having electrons capable of conjugating ring A1, Z12 represents a direct bond or a divalent connector having electrons capable of conjugating ring B1, connector Qo1 represents a (p+k)-valent connector which makes it substantially impossible for any two members selected from the group consisting of the ring (s) A1 and the ring (s) B1 contained in the molecule to conjugate each other, p represents an integer of from 0 to 8, and k represents an integer of from 0 to 8, with the sum of p and k being an integer of from 2 to 8, provided that, in the case where p and/or k is 2 or more, plural R11s to R18s contained in the molecule maybe the same or different from each other, and plural Z11s and Z12s contained in the molecule may be the same or different from each other.

The compound represented by the foregoing formula (II), which forms a plane structure in an optimized geometry and wherein P═O.
