Provided is a novel substance that can emit
phosphorescence. Alternatively, provided is a novel substance with high
emission efficiency. An organometallic complex in which a 4-arylpyrimidine derivative is a ligand and
iridium is a central
metal is provided. Specifically, an organometallic complex having a structure represented by a general formula (G1) is provided. In the general formula (G1), R1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted
alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted
aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, R2 represents any of
hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted
alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and a substituted or unsubstituted
phenyl group, R3 represents
hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted
alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and Ar1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted
arylene group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms.
