In formula (1), each of W.sup.1 and W.sup.2 is the group represented by formula (2) in which the ring Z is an aromatic hydrocarbon ring, X is a single bond or —S—, R.sup.1 is a single bond or an alkylene group having 1-4 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is a specific substituent, and m is an integer of 0 or higher, the group represented by formula (4) is —OH— or a (meth)acryloyloxy group, each of the rings Y.sup.1 and Y.sup.2 is an aromatic hydrocarbon ring, R is a single bond or a specific divalent group, each of R.sup.3a and R.sup.3b is —CN, a halogen group, or a monovalent hydrocarbon group, and each of n1 and n2 is an integer of 0-4.

An example of a three-dimensional printing kit includes a particulate build material including from about 80 wt % to 100 wt % metal particles based on a total weight of the particulate build material. The three-dimensional printing kit further includes a binder fluid including water and polymer particles in an amount ranging from about 1 wt % to about 40 wt % based on a total weight of the binder fluid. The polymer particles have from about 1% to about 10% of a phosphate functional group.
