The present invention provides a light-emitting organic platinum complex, a light-emitting material containing this complex, and a functional device containing this complex. The light-emitting organic platinum complex is represented by any one of the following structural formulae: where: Z represents either —(CH2)n— or —CH2(CH2OCH2)mCH2—, where n represents 7 to 14, and m represents 3 to 4; A represents either an optionally condensed aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an optionally condensed heteroaromatic ring; R is a substituent group for A and represents H (unless n of Z in the structural formula (1) is 7 to 13), a halogen, a C1-C6 alkyl group, a C1-C6 alkenyl group, a C1-C6 alkynyl group, a C1-C6 alkoxy group or the like.
