Transparent electrode, electronic device, and organic electroluminescent device

A transparent electrode comprising:

• a nitrogen-containing layer comprising a compound that contains a nitrogen atom or atoms (N) having an unshared electron pair or pairs and has an effective lone pair content n/M of 2.0×10−3 or more, wherein n represents the number of unshared electron pairs that neither contribute to aromaticity nor are coordinated to metal among the unshared electron pair or pairs of the nitrogen atom or atoms, and M represents the molecular weight of the compound;
• an electrode layer provided adjacent to the nitrogen-containing layer and comprising silver (Ag) as a main component and at least one additive element selected from aluminum (Al), gold (Au), indium (In), copper (Cu), palladium (Pd), and platinum (Pt);
• and
• the nitrogen-containing layer further comprises a compound having a structure represented by Formula (5):
• wherein
• R51 represents a substituent,
• E501, E502, E511 to E515, and E521 to E525 each represent —C(R52)= or —N═, and
• E503 to E505 each represent —C(R52)=, wherein R52 represents a hydrogen atom (H) or a substituent,
• at least one of E501 and E502 is —N═,
• at least one of E511 to E515 is —N═, and
• at least one of E52 to E525 is —N═.
