Abstract:
1. A catalyst composition comprising: an imide compound having an N-substituted cyclic imide skeleton represented by following Formula (1): wherein R is a hydrolyzable hydroxyl-protecting group obtained from an acid by eliminating an OH group from the acid; R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are the same or different and are each a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, a cycloalkyl group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, a carboxyl group, a substituted oxycarbonyl group, an acyl group, or an acyloxy group, wherein at least two of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 and may be combined with each other to form a double bond, an aromatic ring, or a non-aromatic ring, and wherein at least one N-substituted cyclic imido group indicated by Formula (1) may further be formed on R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 or on the double bond, the aromatic ring, or the non-aromatic ring formed by at least two of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 ; in combination with a metallic compound, wherein the metal is selected from Groups 2 to 15 of the Periodic Table of Elements.
