This organic heteropolymer is useful in forming organic semiconductors and is a copolymeric heteropolymer that comprises a
structural unit represented by formula (1) and a
structural unit represented by formula (2). (In the formulas: M1 and M2 represent heteroatoms selected from mutually differing groups among the group 8 elements, the group 9 elements, the group 10 elements, the group 14 elements, the group 15 elements, and the group 16 elements on the
periodic table; the atomic valence (v) of M1 and M2 is in the range 2-6; R1a and R1b each represent a
halogen atom, an
alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an
aryl group, or a heteroaryl group and may be the same or different; R2a and R2b each represent a
halogen atom, an
alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an
aryl group, a heteroaryl group, a monovalent or bivalent
heteroatom selected from the group consisting of the group 16 elements and the group 11 elements on the
periodic table, or a
metal atom that has formed a complex with a ligand and may be the same or different; m1, m2, n1, and n2 each represent 0 or 1; circled Ar represents an aromatic ring; R3 represents a straight-chain or branched-chain
alkyl group, a straight-chain or branched-chain
alkoxy group, or a straight-chain or branched-chain alkylthio group; and p represents 0 or an integer in the range 1-3.)
