The present invention provides a tryptoanthrinimine derivative represented by the general formula (Y): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.A to R.sup.M are as defined. Such a derivative of the general formula (Y) is superior in electron transferring capability. Accordingly, an electrophotosensitive material comprising a photosensitive layer containing this derivative (Y) is superior in sensitivity.

Tryptoanthrinimine derivative and electrophotosensitive material using

The present invention provides a novel trinitrofluorenonimine derivative represented by the general formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.0 is an alkyl group; and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are the same or different and indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, an alkoxy, an aryl, an aralkyl, a halogen atom or an alkyl halide. This derivative is superior in electron transferring capability and compatibility with binding resin. Accordingly, an electrophotosensitive material comprising this derivative as an electron transferring material is superior in sensitivity.

Trinitrofluoroenonimine derivative and electrophotosensitive material

According to the present invention, there is provided a novel tryptoanthorine derivative represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1a, R.sup.1b, R.sup.1c, R.sup.1d, R.sup.2a, R.sup.2b, R.sup.2c, and R.sup.2d are the same or different and indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or a halogenated alkyl group; provided that R.sup.1a, R.sup.1b, R.sub.1c and R.sup.1d do not indicate a hydrogen atom, simultaneously. Tryptoanthorine and a derivative thereof are suitably used for an electrophotosensitive material because of their excellent electron transferring capability.

Tryptoanthorine derivative contained in electrophotosensitive material

The present invention provides an electrophotosensitive material having an improved sensitivity in comparison with a conventional one, obtained by combining a trinitrofluorenoneimine derivative represented by the formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are the same or different and indicate a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group which may contain a substituent, an aralkyl group which may contain a substituent, or a halogen atom! as an electron transferring material with a prescribed electric charge generating material or hole transferring material.
