Limuninescence device, display apparatus and metal coordination compound

摘要

A luminescence device is principally constituted by a pair of electrodes and an organic compound layer disposed therebetween. The layer contains a metal coordination compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein M denotes Ir, Rh or Pd; n is 2 or 3; CyN denotes a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic group containing a nitrogen atom connected to M and capable of containing another nitrogen atom and/or a sulfur atom; and CyC denotes a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic group containing a carbon atom connected to M and capable of containing a nitrogen atom and/or a sulfur atom, CyN and CyC being connected to each other via a covalent bond, and each of substituents for CyN and CyC being selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom; nitro group; a trialkylsilyl group containing three linear or branched alkyl groups each independently having 1-8 carbon atoms; and a linear or branched alkyl group having 1-20 carbon atoms capable of including one or at least two non-neighboring methylene groups which can be replaced with -O-, -S-, -CO-, -CO-O-, -O-CO-, -CH=CH- or -C=C- and capable of including a hydrogen atom which can be replaced with a fluorine atom; with the proviso that a sum of nitrogen atom and sulfur atom present in ring structures of CyN and CyC is at least 2.
