To provide an electroluminescent material excellent in light emitting characteristics.

The electroluminescent material for an organic electroluminescent device uses a disilacyclohexadiene compound represented by formula (1) such as 1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenyl[1,2-c:2',1'-e]dibenzodisiladicyclo hexadiene. In the formula, R1-R6 are each independently a substituted or a non-substituted alkyl group or the like, and m and n are each independently an integer of 0-4.
