Abstract

A photosensitive element for electrophotography has an electrically conductive substrate and a layer structure thereon comprising a charge generating substance and a charge transport substance. An improved charge transport substance is a derivative of triphenylamine in which at least 80% of the electrons in the highest occupied molecular orbital are located on the triphenylamine skeleton. Examples of such compounds have the following formula: ##STR1## wherein X is a an optionally substituted heterocyclic radical containing at least one ring nitrogen, Q is a single bond or --C.dbd.C--, and Z.sub.1, Z.sub.2 and Z.sub.3 are H, lower alkyl or alkoxy, aryl, NO.sub.2, CF.sub.3, --N(R').sub.2, --S--C.sub.6 H.sub.5 or --S(R').sub.2.
