Abstract
Abstract A photoconductive composition comprises a photoconductor and a sensitizer. The sensitizer has the formula <IMAGE> wherein R represents alkyl; R1 represents H, alkyl or aryl; R2 represents the atoms required to complete a hetero or carboxyclic ring; A- represents an anion; and n represents the valency of the anion. The composition is sensitive to both laser light sources and tungsten light sources and is useful in electrophotographic reproduction.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
43 words
A photoconductive composition comprising at least one photoconductor and, as sensitiser, a compound having the formula; wherein R represents alkyl; R1 represents alkyl or aryl; R2 represents the atoms required to complete a hetero or carbocylic ring and A n- represents an anion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
43 words
A photoconductive composition comprising at least one photoconductor and, as sensitiser, a compound having the formula; wherein R represents alkyl; R1 represents alkyl or aryl; R2 represents the atoms required to complete a hetero or carbocylic ring and A n- represents an anion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
