  • Patent number: 11800785
    Abstract: A polycyclic aromatic compound represented by general formula (1) described below and having a bulky substituent in a molecule is used as a material for an organic device, whereby, for example, an organic EL device excellent in quantum efficiency can be provided. In particular, concentration quenching can be suppressed even if a use concentration is comparatively high, and therefore the present art is advantageous in a device production process. In formula (1) described above, R1, R3, R4 to R7, R8 to R11 and R12 to R15 are independently hydrogen, aryl or the like, X1 is —O— or >N—R (R is aryl or the like), Z1 and Z2 are a bulky substituent such as aryl, and at least one hydrogen in the compound represented by formula (1) may be replaced by halogen or deuterium.
