Abstract

A composition comprises a compound comprising a partial structure represented by formula (1) and comprising an intermolecular bond-forming group; and a solvent. X 1 and X 2 each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted ring structure having 4 to 10 ring atoms constituted taken together with a spiro carbon atom and carbon atoms of an aromatic ring. R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a halogen atom, a hydroxy group, a nitro group or a monovalent organic group. a1 and a2 are each independently an integer of 0 to 8. n1 and n2 are each independently an integer of 0 to 2; k1 and k2 are each independently an integer of 0 to 8. A sum of k1 and k2 is no less than 1, and a sum of a1 and k1. A sum of a2 and k2 are no greater than 8.
