Hydrazone-based charge transport materials having an unsaturated acyl group

Abstract

Improved organophotoreceptor comprises an electrically conductive substrate and a photoconductive element on the electrically conductive substrate, the photoconductive element comprising: (a) a charge transport material having the formula...where Ar comprises an aromatic group; X comprises a bond or a linking group; and R1; R2, R3, R4, and R5 comprise, each independently, H, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group, or a part of a ring group; and (b) a charge generating compound. Corresponding electrophotographic apparatuses and imaging methods are described.
