Below, the triphenylamine derivative of ad hoc structure with first embodiment is specifically described.

The triphenylamine derivative of first embodiment is characterised in that it is the compound of above-mentioned general formula (1) expression.

Its result is used as the cavity conveying agent of Electrophtography photosensor by the triphenylamine derivative that will have ad hoc structure of the present invention, thereby can helps to improve effectively its light sensitivity characteristic.

Below, to can be as the substituent R in the triphenylamine derivative of first embodiment ¹～R ¹³The substituting group that uses carries out example.

At first, can enumerate methyl, ethyl, propyl group, sec.-propyl, normal-butyl, the tertiary butyl, amyl group, isopentyl, neo-pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, n-octyl and iso-octyl etc. as alkyl.

In addition, can enumerate methoxyl group, oxyethyl group, positive propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy, sec-butoxy, tert.-butoxy, pentyloxy, isopentyloxy, neopentyl oxygen, hexyloxy, heptan oxygen base, n-octyloxy and different octyloxy etc. as alkoxyl group.

And then, can enumerate phenmethyl, Alpha-Methyl phenmethyl, styroyl, styryl, cinnamyl, 3-hydrocinnamyl, 4-benzene butyl, 5-benzene amyl group, 6-benzene hexyl etc. as aralkyl.

In addition, can enumerate phenyl, 4-p-methoxy-phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, mesityl, naphthyl, anthryl, phenanthryl etc. as the substituting group that the substituent A r in the triphenylamine derivative of first embodiment uses.

In addition, substituent A r can have the alkyl of carbonatoms 1～8, the alkoxyl group of carbonatoms 1～8, the hydrocarbon ring of carbonatoms 3～14 or the heterocycle of 3～10 yuan of rings as substituting group.

And, can enumerate above-mentioned substituting group as the alkyl of carbonatoms 1～8, the alkoxyl group of carbonatoms 1～8.In addition, can enumerate tetramethylene, suberane, hexanaphthene, naphthalene nucleus, phenyl ring etc. as the hydrocarbon ring of carbonatoms 3～14.And then, can enumerate furan nucleus, thiphene ring, pyridine ring etc. as the heterocycle of 3～10 yuan of rings.

Then, use Fig. 1 illustrate triphenylamine derivative regulation aryloxy with to the solvability of solvent and the relation of the dispersiveness in the sensitive layer.

Namely, Fig. 1 represents that transverse axis adopts triphenylamine derivative to the solubleness (%) as the tetrahydrofuran (THF) (THF) of solvent, and the longitudinal axis adopts the stain that uses when this triphenylamine derivative formed image as the Electrophtography photosensor of cavity conveying agent to produce the rational curve of number (individual/A4 paper).

Here, produce number as the index of the dispersiveness of estimating the triphenylamine derivative in the sensitive layer and determined at the stain that the longitudinal axis adopts.

This is because if the dispersiveness of the triphenylamine derivative in the sensitive layer reduces, perhaps crystallization, thus this compound exists with the state of excessive gathering, then when implementing charged operation, produce leakage current by this habitat easily, thereby be easy to generate stain at the formation portrait.

In addition, as two kinds of marks describing characteristic basis corresponding triphenylamine derivative with constructional feature shown below respectively.

◇: the aryloxy that has regulation in the contraposition of aryl amine

●: the aryloxy that does not have regulation in the contraposition of aryl amine

In addition, Electrophtography photosensor constitutes mono-layer electronic photographic photoreceptor.In addition, solubleness and the stain measuring method etc. that produces number is recorded among the embodiment.

By the rational curve of Fig. 1 as can be known, solubility values is more big, and it is more few that stain produces number.

Be appreciated that thus by the solubility values that makes triphenylamine derivative to become big that the dispersiveness that contains in the sensitive layer of this triphenylamine derivative is improved.

In addition, if pay close attention to the mark as characteristic basis, then as can be known solubility values be value more than 15% and stain produce number be the triphenylamine derivative of the following value of 50/A4 paper for have the triphenylamine derivative (◇) of the aryloxy of regulation in the contraposition of aryl amine, be the triphenylamine derivative of general formula (1) expression.

On the other hand, solubility values produces the aryloxy of triphenylamine derivative for not having regulation in the contraposition of aryl amine that number exceeds the value of 70/A4 paper less than 15% value and stain, is the triphenylamine derivative (●) beyond the scope of general formula (1).

Hence one can see that, and the triphenylamine derivative of general formula (1) expression is because to the solvability excellence of solvent, so can help to improve the dispersiveness in the sensitive layer.

In addition, solvent has the characteristic of the binding resin that dissolves sensitive layer as its necessary characteristic.

Therefore, when triphenylamine derivative is excellent to the solvability of solvent, also excellent with the intermiscibility of binding resin.

Then, use Fig. 2 illustrate triphenylamine derivative to the solvability of solvent with the relation of this triphenylamine derivative as the light sensitivity characteristic of the Electrophtography photosensor of cavity conveying agent.

That is, Fig. 2 represents that transverse axis adopts triphenylamine derivative to the solubleness (%) of tetrahydrofuran (THF) (THF), and the longitudinal axis adopts the rational curve as the rest potential (V) of the index of light sensitivity characteristic.

In addition, Electrophtography photosensor constitutes mono-layer electronic photographic photoreceptor.In addition, the detailed content of measuring method of rest potential etc. is recorded among the embodiment.

By the rational curve of Fig. 2 as can be known, more big to the solubility values of THF, can make the rest potential value more little, thereby the light sensitivity characteristic of Electrophtography photosensor is improved.

More specifically, be value more than 15% by making solubility values to THF as can be known, can be with in the scope of rest potential value stabilization ground control below 130V.

Therefore, be appreciated that by triphenylamine derivative of the present invention is used as the cavity conveying agent by above-mentioned Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, can improve the light sensitivity characteristic of Electrophtography photosensor effectively.

In addition, when constituting triphenylamine derivative of the present invention, the substituent A r in the general formula (1) is preferably can have methyl or methoxy as substituent phenyl.

Its reason is, by electing such substituting group as, polarity and the planarity of the triphenylamine derivative molecule of ad hoc structure can be adjusted to more suitably state, thus can further improve to the solvability of solvent and with the intermiscibility of binding resin.

In addition, two phenyl vinyl structures in the preferred formula (1) or phenyl butenyl structure are arranged in the contraposition of the phenyl of fluorine-triphenylamine structure simultaneously.

Its reason is because the distribution situation of πDian Zi is adjusted to more suitably state, can improve charge transport efficient further.

In addition, the repeat number o in the preferred formula (1) and p are 1.

Its reason is because the distribution situation of πDian Zi is adjusted to more suitably state, can further improve charge transport efficient.

(in the general formula (6), R ¹Be the alkyl of carbonatoms 1～8, R ²～R ⁵Be the alkyl of hydrogen atom, carbonatoms 1～8 or alkoxyl group and the R of carbonatoms 1～8 ²And R ³In at least one be the alkyl of carbonatoms 1～8 or the alkoxyl group of carbonatoms 1～8, R ⁶Be the alkyl of hydrogen atom or carbonatoms 1～6, Ar ¹And Ar ²Independent separately, for the alkoxyl group of hydrogen atom, the alkyl that can have carbonatoms 1～6 or carbonatoms 1～6 as the aryl of substituent carbonatoms 6～20, the cycloalkyl of carbonatoms 3～10 or the heterocycle of 3～10 yuan of rings, and get rid of Ar ¹And Ar ²It all is the situation of hydrogen atom.)

Below, the triphenylamine derivative of ad hoc structure with the 4th embodiment is specifically described.

The triphenylamine derivative of the 4th embodiment is characterised in that it is the compound of above-mentioned general formula (6) expression.

In addition, this triphenylamine derivative is owing to having the alkoxyl group of regulation carbonatoms in the contraposition of aryl amine, so can reduce ionizing potential.

Therefore, and the energy gap that the electric charge between the charge generating etc. is given and accepted diminishes, so can improve charge transport efficient effectively.Particularly, even when this triphenylamine derivative is applicable to the laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor that charge generating layer and charge transport layer separate, also the electric charge that can improve effectively in these bed interfaces moves.

And then, in this triphenylamine derivative, when above-mentioned ortho position and contraposition are all introduced the substituting group of regulation respectively, to compare during with the substituting group that is introduced separately into any one party, deliquescent raising effect and the ionizing potential that can further improve effectively solvent reduce effect.

Thus, the triphenylamine derivative of the ad hoc structure by will having the 4th embodiment can help to improve effectively its light sensitivity characteristic as the cavity conveying agent of Electrophtography photosensor, particularly suppresses rest potential.

In addition, R ¹Alkyl in more preferably 1～7 of carbonatoms, more preferably 1～6.Thus, can give the electron donability that helps to reduce ionizing potential.

In addition, R ²And R ³More preferably 1～6 of carbonatoms during for alkyl and alkoxyl group, more preferably 1～4.Thus, can give the deliquescent fat-soluble and steric effect that helps to improve to solvent.

Below, to as the substituent R in the triphenylamine derivative of the 4th embodiment ¹～R ⁵Operable alkyl and alkoxyl group carry out example.

At first, as alkyl and alkoxyl group, can enumerate the substituent R as the triphenylamine derivative of general formula (1) expression of example in the first embodiment ¹～R ¹³Operable alkyl and alkoxyl group.

In addition, as Ar ¹And Ar ²Operable aryl can be enumerated phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, mesityl, naphthyl, anthryl, phenanthryl etc.

In addition, can enumerate tetramethylene, suberane, hexanaphthene etc. as the cycloalkyl of carbonatoms 3～10.And then, can enumerate furan nucleus, thiphene ring, pyridine ring etc. as the heterocycle of 3～10 yuan of rings.

And then, as R ⁶Operable alkyl can be enumerated methyl, ethyl, propyl group, sec.-propyl, normal-butyl, the tertiary butyl, amyl group, isopentyl, neo-pentyl, hexyl etc.

Then, use Fig. 5 illustrate triphenylamine derivative regulation substituting group with to the solvability of solvent and the relation of ionizing potential.

That is, Fig. 5 represents that transverse axis adopts triphenylamine derivative to the solubleness (%) as the tetrahydrofuran (THF) (THF) of solvent, and the longitudinal axis adopts the distribution plan of the ionizing potential (eV) of triphenylamine derivative.

Here, the corresponding triphenylamine derivative with constructional feature shown below respectively of four kinds of marks in the distribution plan.

Zero: the substituting group that has regulation at the ortho position of aryl amine, the substituting group that also has regulation in contraposition.

: the substituting group that has regulation at the ortho position of aryl amine, and the substituting group that does not have regulation in contraposition.

◇: the substituting group that does not have regulation at the ortho position of aryl amine, and the substituting group that has regulation in contraposition.

●: the substituting group that does not have regulation at the ortho position of aryl amine, the substituting group that does not also have regulation in contraposition.

In addition, solubleness among Fig. 5 is, under 25 ℃ condition, after the 100mg triphenylamine derivative added a small amount of tetrahydrofuran (THF), repeat vibration and place operation, obtain the tetrahydrofuran (THF) addition X (mg) of being dissolved as of triphenylamine derivative when saturated, according to this addition X, the value of calculating with following formula.

Solubleness (%)=100/ (100+X)

By the distribution plan of Fig. 5 as can be known, the triphenylamine derivative of the 4th embodiment of mark (zero) expression is owing to have two substituting groups of regulation simultaneously, so be value 18% or more to the solubility values of THF, simultaneously, the value of ionizing potential is the value below the 5.41eV.

Hence one can see that, is used as the cavity conveying agent by the triphenylamine derivative with the 4th embodiment, and crystallization and the dispersion that can suppress effectively in the sensitive layer are bad, and can improve charge transport efficient effectively.

On the other hand, the triphenylamine derivative of mark () expression is owing to the substituting group that does not have regulation in the contraposition of aryl amine as can be known, so the value of ionizing potential is too high, on the contrary, the triphenylamine derivative of mark (◇) expression is owing to the substituting group that does not have regulation at the ortho position of aryl amine, so solubility values is low excessively.

In addition, the triphenylamine derivative of mark (●) expression is not owing to all have the substituting group of these regulations as can be known, so the value of ionizing potential is too high, and solubility values is low excessively.

And then, if relatively mark (zero), () and plot point (◇) are as can be known, by introduce the substituting group of regulation respectively in ortho position and contraposition, can play synergistic effect.

That is, (zero) when being introduced separately into the substituting group that helps any one effect (and ◇) compares when introducing two substituting groups of regulation simultaneously, can more effectively improve simultaneously the deliquescent raising effect of solvent and the reduction effect of ionizing potential as can be known.

On the contrary, by the distribution plan of Fig. 5 as can be known, when only introducing substituting group in two substituting groups of regulation (and ◇), the deliquescent raising effect of solvent and the reduction effect of ionizing potential are not all reached desired standard.

In addition, when having confirmed the triphenylamine derivative of the mark in the distribution plan of Fig. 5 (zero) as the cavity conveying agent of Electrophtography photosensor in an embodiment, can be stably with the value of absolute value control below regulation of rest potential.

On the other hand, confirmed in an embodiment with mark (, ◇ and ●) triphenylamine derivative during as the cavity conveying agent of Electrophtography photosensor, be difficult to the value of absolute value control below regulation with rest potential, perhaps produce crystallization.

In addition, in the triphenylamine derivative of the 4th embodiment, the substituent R in the preferred formula (6) ²And R ³In have only an alkoxyl group for the alkyl of carbonatoms 1～8 or atomicity 1～8.

Its reason is can pass through suitably saboteur's symmetry, the further solvability that improves solvent.

In addition, the substituent A r in the preferred formula (6) ¹And Ar ²In have only one for the alkoxyl group that can have the alkyl of carbonatoms 1～6 or carbonatoms 1～6 as the aryl of substituent carbonatoms 6～20, the cycloalkyl of carbonatoms 3～10 or the heterocycle of 3～10 yuan of rings.

Its reason is, can be adjusted to more suitably state by the distribution situation with πDian Zi, further improves charge transport efficient.

In addition, the substituent R in the general formula (1) ⁶Be preferably hydrogen atom.
