Provided is a compound including a repeating unit (A) having a carboxyl group on a side chain thereof and a repeating unit (B) having a carboxylate group having an ester residue exhibiting an aggregation-induced emission capability on a side chain thereof and the compound is useful as a polyvalent metal ion sensor such as calcium ions that is capable of reversible sensing and of being integrated into a device.

Ion sensor

The present invention pertains to: a Janus-type triptycene derivative which is capable of forming a self-assembled film which does not depend on the material quality of a substrate; a self-assembled film using said Janus-type triptycene derivative; a structure having said film on a surface thereof; a method for manufacturing said film; and an electronic device using said method.

Triptycene derivative useful as material for forming self-assembled film, method for manufacturing said triptycene derivative, film using same, method for manufacturing said film, and electronic device using said method

The present invention provides a high-performance, highly homogeneous, highly stable electronic device by forming an extremely uniform interface between an insulator and an organic semiconductor, as well as an electronic apparatus using the same. The present invention relates to an electronic device which contains, as a component, an organic thin film in which a geometric two-dimensional arrangement is formed regularly by interdigitating skeletal structures of a positive three-pronged shape of triptycene and by adding a first molecule extending out of one plane of a two-dimensional molecular structure of the triptycene skeletal structure. The invention also relates to an electronic apparatus and the like which contains the electronic device in the interior of the electronic apparatus.
