The invention discloses an iridium complex, a preparation method, and an application thereof. The iridium complex has the structure as the specification, wherein the coordinated group in the section Cis selected from: phenyl, pyridyl, thienyl and pyrimidinyl; the coordinated group in the section N is selected from: pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, triazinyl, thiazolyl, imidazolyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, quinazolinyl or pteridinyl; the R1 is selected from: alkane derivatives, ether derivatives, halogenated hydrocarbon derivatives, ketone derivatives, benzene derivatives, pyridine derivativesand naphthalene derivatives; R2 is selected from: alcohol derivatives, amine derivatives, benzene derivatives, pyridine derivatives, pyrimidine derivatives, diphenylamine derivatives, carbazole derivatives, carboline derivatives, 9,10-dihydroacridine derivatives, phenoxazine derivatives, phenothiazine derivatives, and azole derivatives. The iridium complex has high carrier transport capability, is easy to synthesize, has stable chemical properties, and is easy to sublimate and purify.
