Abstract:
1. A conductive polymer comprising: a linear main chain composed mainly of a saturated hydrocarbon, a plurality of carrier transport structures which contribute to carrier transport and each of which is represented by the following general formula (1), and a linking structure which branches off from the main chain to link each of the carrier transport structures to the main chain; where each R wherein a number of carbon atoms linearly linked to each other to constitute the main chain existing between adjacent linking structures is 5 to 7, and when the number of the carbon atoms linearly linked to each other to constitute the main chain existing between the adjacent linking structures is defined as “A” and a number of atoms linearly linked to each other in the linking structures is defined as “B,” A and B satisfy the relation 1.5≦A/B≦10.
