The invention provides a compound and application thereof, and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same, the compound has a structure of formula (I), and the compound is used as a material of a luminescent layer in the organic electroluminescent device; and the organic electroluminescent device comprises a first
electrode, a second
electrode and an
organic layer between the first
electrode and the second electrode, and the
organic layer contains one or a combination of at least two of the compounds. According to the compound provided by the invention, the LUMO orbital
energy level of the compound can be improved, direct injection of electrons is reduced, reverse
intersystem crossing is facilitated, the luminous efficiency is improved, part or all
hydrogen atoms in the compound are subjected to heavy hydrogenation, the molecular structure stability can be greatly improved, and the vibration
coupling strength of molecules is reduced; therefore, the
energy loss of molecular non-
radiative transition is reduced, and the service life of the device is prolonged; and when the compound is applied to an organic electroluminescent device as a
luminescent material, the efficiency roll-off of the device can be further reduced, and the service life of the device is prolonged.
