Abstract: A triboelectrically chargeable composition for use in development of electrostatic latent images. The composition contains a metal complex of an amino acid compound having an amino or mono-substituted amino group and a carboxylic group. The composition is embodied typically as a positively chargeable toner and also as a charge-imparting material for charging a toner.

Abstract: A toner for developing electrostatic latent images which is characterized in that the toner comprises as a charge control agent a zinc complex compound of an aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acid having or not having a substitutent.

Abstract: A dye composition prepared by polymerizing an unsaturated monomer in the presence of a quinoneimine dye and an azo initiator in amounts expressed by x.gtoreq.5 and y.gtoreq.0.33x.sup.1.2 wherein x is the amount of the quinoneimine dye in % by weight based on the unsaturated monomer, and y is the amount of the azo initiator in % by weight based on the unsaturated monomer. The composition is useful for preparing toners for developing electrostatic images because of its outstanding charge control effect and also for preparing electrostatic coating powder compositions.
