Patent ID: 7602602

Claim:
A conductive polymer represented by general formula (3) obtained by polymerizing as a monomer a compound represented by general formula (2), which has a basic skeleton from a 3-alkyl five-membered heterocyclic ring compound represented by general formula (1), in which two to ten molecules of the compounds represented by general formula (1) are bonded at positions 2 and 5 of five-membered heterocyclic rings with head-to-tail regulation of the alkyl groups; wherein X represents an atomic group of —NH— or an atom of S, O, or Se, and n represents an integer of 0 to 9; wherein X represents an atomic group of —NH— or an atom of S, O, or Se, n represents an integer of 0 to 9, and m represents an integer of 0 to 8, wherein X represents an atomic group of —NH— or an atom of S, O, or Se, n represents an integer of 0 to 9, m represents an integer of 0 to 8, and k represents a natural number.
