Light-emitting element, light-emitting device, electronic appliance, and lighting device

Abstract

A light-emitting element in which a light-emitting layer contains an organic compound capable of emitting phosphorescence is provided. A light-emitting element which can have low driving voltage, high current efficiency, or a long lifetime is provided. In a light-emitting element in which a light-emitting layer is interposed between a pair of electrodes, the light-emitting layer contains an organic compound. The organic compound has a 1,2,4-triazole skeleton, a phenyl skeleton, an arylene skeleton, and a Group 9 metal or a Group 10 metal. The nitrogen atom at the 4-position of the 1,2,4-triazole skeleton coordinates to the Group 9 metal or the Group 10 metal. The nitrogen atom at the 1-position of the 1,2,4-triazole skeleton is bonded to a phenyl skeleton. The arylene skeleton is bonded to the 3-position of the 1,2,4-triazole skeleton and the Group 9 metal or the Group 10 metal.
