Electron-conductive high polymer and electroconductive material having the same

Claim 1

An electron-conductive high polymer which has at least (1) an ethylenic repeating unit having an electron-conductive site comprising at least one of aniline compounds and heterocyclic compounds as the repeating unit in the side chain and (2) at least one ethylenic repeating unit selected from the group consisting of an ethylenic repeating unit having an anionic group in the side chain and an ethylenic repeating unit having a repeating unit of an oxyalkylene group in the side chain, wherein the ethylenic repeating unit (1) having an electron-conductive site is derived from an ethylenic compound of formula (I) or (II): ##STR43## wherein A 11 , A 12 , A 13 , A 21 , A 22 and A 23 may be the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent on the ethylenic carbon; L 1 and L 2 may be the same or different and each represents a divalent linking group; D 1 , D 2 , D 3 and D 4 may be the same or different and each represents a residue of an aniline compound or a heterocyclic compound; and a represents 0 or 1, wherein the ethylenic repeating unit (2) having a repeating unit of an oxyalkylene group in the side chain is derived from an ethylenic compound of formula (III): ##STR44## wherein A 31 , A 32 and A 33 may be the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent on the ethylene carbon; A 34 represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl, a substituted or unsubstituted alkylcarbonyl, a substituted or unsubstituted arylcarbonyl, a substituted or unsubstituted alkylsulfonyl or a substituted or unsubstituted arylsulfonyl group; L 3 represents a divalent linking group; G represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group; and t represents from 2 to 30, provided that plural G's may be the same or different, and wherein the ethylenic repeating unit (2) having an anionic group in the side chain is derived from an ethylenic compound of formula (IV): ##STR45## where A 41 , A 42 and A 43 may be the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent on the ethylenic carbon; L 4 represents a divalent linking group; and E represents an anionic group, and wherein said heterocyclic compound is a compound having a hetero ring selected from the group consisting of ##STR46## pyrazole, imidazole, triazole, oxazole, thiazole, pyridine, diazine, ##STR47## benzothiazole, purine, quinoline, isoquinoline, benzodiazine, fluorene ##STR48## acridine, phenazone, phenoxazone, pyrazolotrizole, pyrazolodiazole, pyrazoloazole, and benzopyrazoloazole and wherein Z represents --O--, --S-- or ##STR49## where "R 3 represents a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms," n=1 to 10,000.
