NOVELTY - An anthracene derivative (I), is new.    USE - New anthracene derivative is used for organic electroluminescent element material for electronic device (all claimed). Uses include but are not limited to flat panel display of wall-mounted television, copier, printer, measuring instruments, display board, marker lamp, electrophotographic photoreceptor, photoelectric conversion element, solar cell, image sensor, etc.    ADVANTAGE - The new anthracene derivative provides organic electroluminescent element material having excellent luminous efficiency and low drive voltage.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An anthracene derivative of formula (I), is new.    at least one of R11-R20=single bond coupled with L1, with remaining being H, halo, cyano, optionally substituted 1-20C alkyl, optionally substituted 2-20C alkenyl, optionally substituted 2-20C alkynyl, optionally substituted 1-20C alkoxy, optionally substituted 1-20C alkylthio, optionally substituted 6-50C aryloxy, optionally substituted 6-50C arylthio, alkylsilyl optionally substituted by 1-20C alkyl, aryl silyl optionally substituted with 6-50C aryl, optionally substituted 6-50C aryl, optionally substituted 5-50C heterocyclyl, or optionally substituted amino;    L1=single bond, optionally substituted 6-50C bivalent aryl or optionally substituted 5-50C bivalent heterocyclyl;    Z=group of formula (ii);and    R1-R4,R5-R10=at least one of R1, R3 and R4 is single bond coupled with L1, and remaining of R1,R3 and R4, R2 and R5-R10 is chosen from H, halo, cyano, optionally substituted 1-20C alkyl, optionally substituted 2-20C alkenyl, optionally substituted 2-20C alkynyl, optionally substituted 1-20C alkoxy, optionally substituted 1-20C alkylthio, optionally substituted 6-50C aryloxy, optionally substituted 6-50C arylthio, alkylsilyl optionally substituted with 1-20C alkyl, aryl silyl optionally substituted with 6-50C aryl, optionally substituted 6-50C aryl group, optionally substituted 5-50C heterocyclyl or optionally substituted amino.    (i) adjacent R11-R20 combine with each other to form a ring; (ii) adjacent R5-R8 combine to form saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl; and (iii) When L1 is a single bond, one of R1, R3 and R4 directly couples with one of R11-R20.
