Abstract
This invention relates to an organophotoreceptor that includes: (a) a charge transport compound having the formula 1 where R1 and R2 are, independently, a carbazolyl group; R3 and R4 are, independently, hydrogen, an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group; and X is a sulfonyldiphenylene group; (b) a charge generating compound; and (c) an electrically conductive substrate.

An electrophotographic imaging process comprising:
- (a) applying an electrical charge to a surface of an organophotoreceptor comprising:
- (i) a charge transport compound having the formula
- 7
- where R1 and R2 are, independently, a carbazolyl group;
- R3 and R4 are, independently, hydrogen, an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group;

- (b) imagewise exposing said surface of said organophotoreceptor to radiation to dissipate charge in selected areas and thereby form a pattern of charged and uncharged areas on said surface;
- (c) contacting said surface having a pattern of charged and uncharged areas with a liquid toner comprising a dispersion of colorant particles in an organic liquid to create a toned image;
- and
- (d) transferring said toned image to a substrate.
