Electrophotographic photoconductor

摘要

An electrophotographic photoconductor is composed of an electroconductive substrate, and a photoconductive layer, formed thereon, which contains a charge generating material, and a vinylidene compound of formula (I): <IMAGE> (I) wherein Ar represents a metallocene group; and X represents cyano group, an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or an alkoxycarbonyl group represented by -COOCnH2n+1, in which n is an integer of 1 to 8; or a vinylidene compound of formula (II): Ar-CH=C(COOR)2(II) wherein Ar represents a metallocene group; and R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, which may form a ring in combination of two of the alkyl groups, each of these vinylidene compounds serving as a charge transporting material.
