New electrostatographic toners and developers are provided containing charge-control agents comprising ammonium trihalozincate salts having the structure: <CHEM> wherein R, R<1>, R<2> and R<3> are the same or different and are independently selected from hydrogen; an unsubstituted alkyl group having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms; a substituted alkyl group having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms substituted with one or more hydroxy-, carboxy-, alkoxy-, carboalkoxy-, acyloxy-, nitro-, cyano-, keto- or halo-groups; a cycloalkyl group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms; an unsubstituted aryl group having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms; a substituted aryl group having from 6 to 14 carbon atoms substituted with one or more hydroxy-, carboxy-, alkoxy-, carboalkoxy-, acyloxy-, amino-, nitro-, cyano-, keto- or halo-groups; an alkaryl group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and 6 to 14 carbon atoms in the aryl group; an aralkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and 6 to 14 carbon atoms in the aryl group wherein the aryl group may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more alkyl-, hydroxy-, carboxy-, alkoxy-, carboalkoxy-, acyloxy-, amino-, nitro-, cyano-, keto- or halo-groups; or wherein any two or more of R, R<1>, R<2>, or R<3> can be interconnected to one another to form a 5 to 14 membered saturated or unsaturated ring system, and X, which can be the same or different, is selected from fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. |
