The invention discloses an anthraquinone general formula compound and application thereof. The general formula compound is shown in a formula (1) in the specification, and in the formula (1), n is aninteger of 1-2; when n is 2, two L groups in the formula (1) can be different, and two Ar groups in the formula (1) can be different; X1-X8 are independently selected from C, CR or N, when any one ortwo of X1-X8 represent C, the C atom is connected with L, and R is selected from a hydrogen atom, alkyl of C1-C10, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted C3-C30 heteroaryl; the Ar is selected from substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted C3-C30 heteroaryl; and the L is selected from single bonds, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 arylidene, or substituted or unsubstituted C3-C20 heterocyclic arylidene. The compound shows excellent device performance and stability when serving as a main body material in a light-emitting layerof an organic light-emitting device (OLED), and meanwhile the OLED adopting the general formula compound is within the scope of right protection.
