| 1. A photoradical generator comprising a compound (a) having a seven-membered ring imide structure-containing group represented
by the following formula (2):
wherein, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 respectively represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent and may be a cyclic structure in which they are bonded to each other;
“X” represents a monovalent chemical structure having a part of a non-aromatic skeleton containing a hydrocarbon skeleton
directly bonded to “N” of the seven-membered ring imide structure-containing group and a part containing a hydrogen-donating
atom; when groups selected from the group consisting of R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 are bonded to each other to have a cyclic structure, the cyclic structure is a structure that can keep a twist of two aromatic
rings contained in a biphenyl structure contained in said formula.
