The invention discloses phosphorescent luminescent materials and a preparation method and application thereof. The invention is characterized in that the phosphorescent luminescent materials are red light materials containing a metal iridium complex; a structural general formula of the phosphorescent luminescent materials is shown in the specification; and in the structural general formula, R1 and R2 are independently one of alkyl, phenyl, halogen-substituted phenyl, alkyl-substituted phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl, a halogen substituent, methoxy, phenoxy, cyano-substituted carbazolyl, substituted N-phenylcarbazolyl, quinolyl, thiazolyl, thienyl, an aromatic amino group, a group with an azole structure, an aromatic heterocyclic radical, a substituted aromatic heterocyclic radical and a silicon alkyl substituent respectively. The phosphorescent materials have high luminous efficiency; and the high luminous efficiency shows that the compounds can be taken as luminescent materials or main luminescent materials and applied to electroluminescent devices. Through data test and comparison, the materials are organic electroluminescent materials which have excellent performance and a good prospect, and particularly are phosphorescent red light materials which have good performance; and moreover, a method for synthesizing the luminescent materials is simple and low in cost.
