Abstract

The present invention relates to a platinum metal complex and an application thereof in an organic light-emitting device. The platinum metal complex is a compound having a structure of chemical formula (I). An organic light-emitting device to which the compound is applied has a relatively low driving voltage, a relatively high luminous efficiency and improved service life to a certain extent; therefore, the complex has the potential of being applied in the field of organic light-emitting devices. Also provided is an organic light-emitting device, including a cathode, an anode, and an organic layer. The organic layer is one or more of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer; and at least one layer in the organic layer contains the compound of structural formula (I).
