It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel material that can be used for manufacturing a light-emitting element. A triazine derivative according to the present invention is represented by a general formula (1). In the general formula (1), R¹ to R¹² are individually any one of hydrogen, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a halogeno group, acyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryl group, and a hetero cyclic ring, or R¹ and R², R³ and R⁴, R⁵ and R⁶, R⁷ and R⁸, R⁹ and R¹⁰, and R¹¹ and R¹² are individually bonded to form a ring. It is preferable that the heterocyclic ring has a monocyclic structure of a five- or six-membered ring, or a polycyclic structure including any one or both of a five-membered ring and six-membered ring, and includes any atom of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. ##STR1##
