An iridium complex compound represented by formula (5). Provided is an iridium complex compound that is useful as a material for a light-emitting layer of an organic electroluminescent element, has a narrow half-width of the emission spectrum thereof, has high solubility in a solvent, and has a short wavelength that is not too long and is suitable as a red-light-emitting material.n nwhere in formula (5), Ir represents an iridium atom. X represents a bidentate ligand. m represents an integer of 1 to 3. R 1 to R 22 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent. Adjacent substituents are optionally bonded together to form a ring. At least one of R 13 , R 17 , R 18 , and R 22 represents a substituent other than a hydrogen atom. |
