V represents a trivalent linking group which bonds to L 1 to L 3 through a covalent bond at X 9 , and V is selected from the group consisting of:

n represents 1 or 2;

each of L 1 to L 3 is represented by any one of formulae (III) to (VII) below:

wherein, in each of formulae (III) to (VII) above,

represents a coordinated bond with Ir,

X 7 and Ir form a covalent bond,

R 1 represents a substituted aryl group having seven or more carbon atoms,

R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent,

X 6 to X 11 represents an aromatic six membered ring wherein each of X 6 to X 11 represents a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom,

and

wherein in each of formulae (III) to (V) above,

R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent.
