| abstract |
The present invention provides an indeno[1,2-b]phenanthrene compound having suppressed hole transport ability. The indeno[1,2-b]phenanthrene compound represented by the general formula [1] described in Claim 1 is provided. In the formula [1], R 1 and R 2 each represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group. X 1 and X 2 each represent a substituent selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a methoxy group, and a cyano group. A 1 represents a monovalent or a divalent aromatic hydrocarbon group. A 2 represents a monovalent or a divalent aromatic hydrocarbon group or a monovalent or a divalent heteroaromatic group. n represents an integer of 0 to 4. When n is 2 or more, a plurality of A 2 may be identical to or different from each other. |
