Abstract

Provided are a light-emitting element including a novel organometallic complex as an emission center, the organometallic complex, a light-emitting device, an electronic device, and a lighting device each using the light-emitting element. One embodiment of the present invention is a light-emitting element including, as an emission center, an organometallic complex in which a benzofuropyrimidine derivative is coordinated to a metal. In particular, another embodiment is a light-emitting element including, as an emission center, an organometallic complex in which a benzofuropyrimidine derivative having an aryl group at the 4-position is coordinated to a metal. Another embodiment is a light-emitting element including, as an emission center, an organometallic complex in which nitrogen at the 3-position of a benzofuropyrimidine derivative having an aryl group at the 4-position is coordinated to a metal and the aryl group is bonded to the metal.
