Abstract: A method for obtaining, with high selectivity as compared to a conventional method of mixing reaction substrates and thereafter reacting the mixture under heating, a facial isomer of tris-orthometallated iridium that is suitably used particularly as an organic electroluminescence device material, among complexes of tris-orthometallated iridium. The method for producing a complex of tris-orthometallated iridium according to the present disclosure includes, in order, a step (1) of preliminarily heating at least one of the complex of orthometallated iridium or the bidentate organic ligand; a step (2) of mixing the complex of orthometallated iridium and the bidentate organic ligand; and a step (3) of reacting the complex of orthometallated iridium and the bidentate organic ligand.
