An object of the invention is to provide a novel dendrimer 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 dendrimer. These objects
are attained by a dendrimer having a branching structure in which
repeating units each having a branch portion are repeatedly linked
through the divergent method or the convergent method, 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. ##STR00001##
