A mode is also preferable in which at least one of A507, A508, and A509 and at least one of A510, A511, and A512 are nitrogen atoms, and in the case of this mode, it is preferable for A510 or A507 to be a nitrogen atom.
One of the more preferred modes of the platinum complex expressed by General Formula C-5 is a platinum complex expressed by General Formula C-5-1 below:
In the formula, X, Y, and Z represent each independently a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom. However, either Z or Y is a nitrogen atom. When Y is a nitrogen atom, X is a carbon atom. m, n, p, and q represent each independently an integer from 0 to 3. Ar represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group. R1 to R4 represent each independently an alkyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, a fluorine atom, a cyano group, a silyl group, or a heterocyclic group. If m, n, p, and q are 2 or greater, respectively adjacent ones of the plurality of R1 to R4 [groups] may be linked to each other to form a cyclic structure.
General Formula C-5-1 will now be described.
X, Y, and Z represent a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom, either Z or Y is a nitrogen atom, and when Y is a nitrogen atom, X is a carbon atom. It is preferable for Z to be a carbon atom, for Y to be a nitrogen atom, and for X to be a carbon atom.
