This is a problem in withdrawing. Also, with respect to the above-mentioned poly (arylene), it is desired to develop a substance having physical properties not found in conventional poly (arylene) by devising a molecular structure. For example, if a poly (arylene) having an oxidation / reduction potential different from that of a conventional poly (arylene) can be obtained, it can be used as an active material or an electrode material for a conventional polymer battery [eg, “electrochemical and industrial physical chemistry”. 54, p. 306 (1986)].

[0004] Under these circumstances, the present invention has been completed as a result of intensive research to search for poly (arylene) having a new molecular structure.

An object of the present invention is to provide a poly (arylene), particularly a poly (isoquinolinediyl) polyamide, which has excellent heat resistance, is soluble in an organic solvent, and can control the degree of depolarization and electrochemical redox potential.
