A polymer including: a polyaryl backbone; and an organic side-chain group including a partial structure represented by the following General Formula (I) or (II). 2. The polymer according to claim 1 ,wherein the polyaryl backbone comprises a polyphenylene structure. 1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to a polymer, an ink and an organic film.2. Description of the Related ArtPolyphenylene is a substance which has heat-resistance and exhibits electroconductivity when an oxidizing agent (electron acceptor) and a reducing agent (electron donor) are added (see Synthetic Metals, Vol. 1., p. 307 (1987); “Electroconductive polymer”, KYORITSU SHUPPAN CO., LTD., p. 4; and “Polymer Battery”, KYORITSU SHUPPAN CO., LTD., p. 15). In addition, many findings regarding the polyphenylene have been reported. For example, it is reported that the polyphenylene exhibits electroluminescence; the polyphenylene exhibits electrochromism and, therefore, is electrochemically active; and the polyphenylene can be carbonized (e.g., baked) to thereby obtain carbon material (see J. Phys. Chem. Vol. 100, p. 12631 (1996); Advanced Materials, Vol. 4, p. 36; and J. Mater. Res. Vol. 13, p. 2023).Unfortunately, unmodified polyphenylene is, however, insoluble in a solvent and cannot be thermally melted. Accordingly, the unmodified polyphenylene is difficult to be molded and is incapable of being thinned. For that reason, various attempts have been made to solubilize the polyphenylene. For example, it is reported that a soluble polyphenylene can be obtained by polymerizing phenylenes having different binding sites such as polyphenylene and paraphenylene (see Japanese Patent (JP-B) No. 3733527, and Chem. Lett., 721 (2000)). However, the above method cannot confer satisfactory solubility on the resultant polyphenylene. Additionally, the resultant polyphenylene has a low degree of polymerization and unsatisfactory film-forming property. On the other hand, an attempt has been made to obtain a ...
