An organic electroluminescent device comprises: a pair of electrodes; and at least one organic layer comprising a light-emitting layer, said at least one organic layer being between the electrodes, wherein at least one of said at least one organic layer comprises at least one kind of compound represented by formula [1]: ##STR00001## wherein Q.sup.101 represents a linking group, the bond between the carbon atom bonded by R.sup.107 and the carbon atom bonded by R.sup.108 may be a single bond or a double bond (provided that when the bond between the carbon atom bonded by R.sup.107 and the carbon atom bonded by R.sup.108 is a double bond, R.sup.106 and R.sup.109 are not present), R.sup.102 to R.sup.105 each represents a substituent, R.sup.106 to R.sup.109 each represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, R.sup.107 and R.sup.108 may combine to form a condensed ring, and n.sup.101 represents an integer of 1 or more].
