An organic EL material according to the present invention includes a compound represented by the general formula (I). In the formula (I), R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen atom or any substituent, and are preferably each independently a substituent selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a cyano group, a halogen-substituted alkyl group, a halogen, a pyridyl group optionally having a substituent, and an electron-donating aromatic group. A is a substituent in which at least one heteroaryl group optionally having a substituent, or at least one aryl amino group optionally having a substituent is bonded to a carbon atom at the 4-position of the pyridine ring directly or through other aromatic group.
根据本发明,有机 EL 材料包括通式 (I) 所代表的化合物。在式(I)中,R1 和 R2 各自独立地为氢原子或任何取代基,并且最好各自独立地为选自氢原子、
氰基、卤素取代的烷基、卤素、任选具有取代基的
吡啶基和电子供能的芳基的取代基。A 是一种取代基,其中至少一个任选具有取代基的杂芳基或至少一个任选具有取代基的芳基
氨基直接或通过其他芳香基键合到
吡啶环 4 位的碳原子上。
