Abstract
Abstract Hydroxygallium phthalocyanine crystals having intense diffraction peaks at Bragg angles (2θ±0.2°) of 7.5°, 9.9°, 12.5°, 16.3°, 18.6°, 25.1° and 28.3° in CuKα characteristic X-ray diffractometry, a process for producing the same, and an electrophotographic photoreceptor containing the same are disclosed. The hydroxygallium phthalocyanine crystals are obtained by once preparing impurity-free hydroxygallium phthalocyanine having intense X-ray diffraction peaks at specific Bragg angles, followed by a solvent treatment for crystal transformation, in which the impurity-free crystals are prepared by using excess phthalocyanine ring-forming compound in the synthesis of starting gallium phthalocyanine or by removing insoluble matter from the acid paste of starting gallium phthalocyanine.
