As the oligomer liquid crystal triphenylene derivative and use of the said oligomer liquid crystal triphenylene derivative the electric charge carrying material in the electrophotography

摘要

Compounds have the general formula (I) Z[-Y1-(A-Y2)m-X]n, in which the variables have the following meanings: Z stands for an n-valent aliphatic residue with 2 to 20 C atoms or for an n-valent three to seven-membered saturated or unsaturated carbocyclic or heterocyclic residue that may also be benzocyclised, or for an n-valent siloxane or cyclosiloxane residue with up to 10 Si atoms; Y1, Y2 stand for a chemical bond, oxygen, sulphur or a group -CO-O-, -O-CO-, -N(R)-CO- or -CO-N(R)-; m equals 0 or 1; A stands for an alkylene group with 2 to 20 C atoms in which non-adjacent C atoms may be substituted by oxygen, sulphur, -CO-O-, -O-CO- or -N(R)-; n equals 2 to 6; R stands for hydrogen or C1-C4-alkyl; and X stands for a substituted triphenylene residue. Because they recur n times in the compounds, A, Y1, Y2, m and X may be the same or different. These compounds are useful as charge carriers.
