2. An organic electroluminescent device comprising:

a pair of electrodes; and

at least one organic layer provided between the pair of electrodes, at least one of the at least one organic layer being a light emitting layer,

wherein the light-emitting layer comprises a compound represented by the formula (III):

wherein Q 31 and Q 32 each represent a group necessary to form a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring; Y 32 , Y 34 , and Y 35 each represent a nitrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted carbon atom; M 31 represents a transition metal ion; L 31 represents a ligand; n 31 represents an integer of 1 to 3; and n 32 represents an integer of 0 to 4.

3. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by the formula (II) is a compound represented by the formula (IV):

wherein R 41 , R 42 , R 43 , R 44 , and R 45 each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent; Y 47 and Y 48 each represent an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a quaternary carbon atom or a substituted or unsubstituted nitrogen atom; Q 41 represents a group necessary to form an aromatic ring; Q 42 represents a group necessary to form a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring; n 41 and n 42 each represent 1 or 2; and M 41 represents a transition metal ion.

4. The organic electroluminescent device of claim 2 , wherein the compound represented by the formula (III) is a compound represented by the formula (V):
