An object of the invention is to provide a novel dendritic polymer serving
as an organic semiconductor material which is isotropic and which
exhibits remarkably high carrier conductivity. Another object of the
invention is to provide an electronic device employing the dendritic
polymer. These objects are attained by a dendritic polymer having a
branching structure including repeating units each having a branch
portion, each of said repeating units having a structure represented by
formula (1), and containing a linear portion X formed of an optionally
substituted divalent organic group and a branch portion Y formed of an
optionally substituted trivalent organic group: characterized in that the
linear portion X contains at least one thienylene moiety and is at least
partially conjugated with the branch portion Y, and in that the polymer
reversibly assumes an insulative state and a metallic state, depending on
the presence of an external factor.
