embodiment 1

[0189]In this embodiment, a light-emitting element of one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B and FIGS. 2A and 2B.

[0190]First, a structure of the light-emitting element of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B.

[0191]FIG. 1A is a schematic cross-sectional view of a light-emitting element 150 of one embodiment of the present invention.

[0192]The light-emitting element 150 includes a pair of electrodes (an electrode 101 and an electrode 102) and an EL layer 100 between the pair of electrodes. The EL layer 100 includes at least a light-emitting layer 130.

[0193]The EL layer 100 illustrated in FIG. 1A includes functional layers such as a hole-injection layer 111, a hole-transport layer 112, an electron-transport layer 118, and an electron-injection layer 119, in addition to the light-emitting layer 130.

[0194]In this embodiment, although description is given assuming that the elec...

embodiment 2

[0314]In this embodiment, a novel compound that can suitably be used in a light-emitting element of one embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0315]A compound of one embodiment of the present invention is an iridium complex including a nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocyclic skeleton as a ligand. The nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocyclic skeleton at least includes a substituent including a cyano group. The nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocyclic skeleton such as an imidazole skeleton or a triazole skeleton has a high triplet excitation energy level but has a lower electron-accepting property than a nitrogen-containing six-membered heterocyclic skeleton. Thus, the iridium complex including a nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocyclic skeleton as a ligand has a high LUMO level and to which electron carriers are not easily injected. However, since the iridium complex of one embodiment of the present invention at least includes a substituent i...

embodiment 3

For synthesizing the iridium complexes, a variety of reactions can be used. For example, the iridium complexes represented by General Formulae (G1), (G3), (G4), and (G7) can be synthesized by synthesis reactions described below. Note that the method of synthesizing the iridium complex of one embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the following synthesis methods.

[0367]An example of a method for synthesizing the iridium complex with the structure represented by General Formula (G1) is described.

[0368]As shown in Synthesis Scheme (a) below, the iridium complex with the structure represented by General Formula (G1) can be obtained when a nitrogen-containing five-membered ring derivative represented by General Formula (G0) is mixed with an iridium metal compound containing a halogen (e.g., iridi...
