R 15 represents an (α+β)-valent group resulting from removal of (α+β) hydrogen atoms from a hydrocarbon,

(ii) when n is 1,
R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , R 16 , R 17 and R 18 each independently represent a hydrocarbyl group, substituted amino group, hydroxy group or hydrocarbyloxy group,
R 14 represents:
(a) a group resulting from removal of two hydrogen atoms from a hydrocarbon with an amino group or substituted amino group,
(b) a group resulting from removal of two hydrogen atoms from a hydrocarbon with a substituent including a heteroatom other than a nitrogen atom, or
(c) a hydrocarbylene group,
when R 14 is (a) a group resulting from removal of two hydrogen atoms from a hydrocarbon with an amino group or substituted amino group, from among R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , R 16 , R 17 and R 18 , at least one is a substituted amino group and at least one is a hydroxy group or hydrocarbyloxy group,
when R 14 is (b) a group resulting from removal of two hydrogen atoms from a hydrocarbon with a substituent including a heteroatom other than a nitrogen atom, or (c) a hydrocarbylene group, from among R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , R 16 , R 17 and R 18 , at least two are substituted amino groups and at least one is a hydroxy group or hydrocarbyloxy group,
at least two groups from among R 11 , R 12 , R 13 , R 14 , R 16 , R 17 and R 18 are optionally bonded either directly or indirectly at positions where a hydrogen atom has been removed from each group, and
