Abstract

A novel organometallic complex having high heat resistance is provided. The organometallic complex, which includes a structure represented by General Formula (G1), includes iridium and a ligand. The ligand has a pyrazine skeleton. Iridium is bonded to nitrogen at the 1-position of the pyrazine skeleton. A phenyl group that has an alkyl group as a substituent is bonded at each of the 2- and 3-positions of the pyrazine skeleton, and a phenyl group that has a cyano group as a substituent is bonded at the 5-position of the pyrazine skeleton. The ortho position of the phenyl group bonded at the 2-position of the pyrazine skeleton is bonded to iridium. In the formula, each of A 1 to A 4 independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Each of R 1 to R 6 independently represents any of hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 13 carbon atoms, and a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 3 to 12 carbon atoms. Each of R 7 to R 11 independently represents any of hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 13 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, and a cyano group. At least one of R 7 to R 11 represents a cyano group.
