NOVEL DIAMINE COMPOUND HAVING RADICAL GENERATION ABILITY AND BASE GENERATION ABILITY, AND NOVEL IMIDE POLYMER USING SAID NOVEL DIAMINE COMPOUND AS STARTING MATERIAL

摘要

Provided are: a novel diamine having radical generation ability and base generation ability by means of irradiation of ultraviolet light; and a novel imide polymer which uses this novel diamine as a starting material. A diamine represented by formula (1); and an imide polymer which is composed of a polyimide precursor that uses the diamine as a starting material and/or a polyimide that is obtained by imidizing the polyimide precursor. (In formula (1), each of T₁ and T₂ represents a single bond or a linking group such as -O-, -COO-; G represents a divalent heterocyclic group having two nitrogen atoms; each of R₁ and R₂ represents an alkyl group having 1-10 carbon atoms, or the like; and Q represents a group represented by formula AA.) (In formula AA, R represents a hydrogen atom or the like; and R₃ represents a nitrogen atom or the like.)
