ORGANOMETALLIC COMPLEX CHARGE CONTROL AGENTS

摘要

The present invention is an electrostatographic toner that includes an organometallic complex of dimethyl sulfoxide with a metal salt as a charge control agent having the structure; (M<SUP>+n</SUP>)<SUB>x</SUB> ((CH<SUB>3</SUB>)<SUB>2</SUB>SO<SUB>2</SUB>)<SUB>y</SUB> (A<SUP>-q</SUP>)<SUB>z</SUB> where n, q, x and z are integers between 1 and 6, and y is an integer between 2 and 12. The present invention also includes a developer having a toner, an organometallic complex of dimethyl sulfoxide with a metal salt as a charge control agent having the structure; (M<SUP>+n</SUP>)<SUB>x</SUB> ((CH<SUB>3</SUB>)<SUB>2</SUB>SO<SUB>2</SUB>)<SUB>y</SUB> (A<SUP>-q</SUP>)<SUB>z</SUB> where n, q, x and z are integers between 1 and 6, and y is an integer between 2 and 12, and a carrier particle.
