  • Patent number: 6140004
    Abstract: An organic photoreceptor that includes:(a) a charge transport compound having the formula ##STR1## where n is an integer between 2 and 6, inclusive; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, independently, are an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl group, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 combine with the nitrogen atom to form a ring;Y is a bond, a carbon atom, a --CR.sup.3 group, an aryl group, a cycloalkyl group, or a cyclosiloxyl group;R.sup.3 is hydrogen, an alkyl group, or an aryl group; andX is a linking group having the formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.m -- wherein m is an integer between 4 and 10, inclusive, and one or more of the methylene groups is optionally replaced by an oxygen atom, a carbonyl group, or an ester group;(b) a charge generating compound; and(c) an electroconductive substrate.

  • Patent number: 5470699
    Abstract: Gelatin hardeners, suitable for use in hardening gelatin-containing photographic layers, of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: X is a member selected from the group consisting of O and S or is absent,each Y independently is a member selected from the group consisting of O, S and a bond,each R.sup.1 independently represents an aliphatic group of up to 10 carbon atoms or the two R.sup.1 groups together represent the necessary atoms to complete a 5, 6 or 7-membered ring,--NR.sup.2 R.sup.3 contains not more than 12 skeletal atoms andR.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently members of the group consisting of hydrogen, cyclic groups and acyclic groups or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 together represent the necessary atoms to complete a heterocyclic ring.
