Abstract

A charge transporting film includes a cured film of a composition containing at least one selected from reactive compounds represented by the following Formula (I): wherein F represents a charge transporting skeleton, D represents a group represented by Formula (IIa), m represents an integer of from 1 to 8, E represents a group represented by Formula (IIb), L represents a (n+1)-valent linking group including two or more selected from the group consisting of an alkylene group, an alkenylene group, —C(═O)—, —N(R)—, —S—, —O—, and a trivalent or tetravalent group derived from alkane or alkene, R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group, n represents an integer of from 1 to 3, R 0 represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group, or an alkoxy group, and n0 represents an integer of from 0 to 3.

Claims (29)

1. A charge transporting film comprising:

a cured film of a composition containing at least one selected from reactive compounds represented by the following Formula (I):

wherein F represents a charge transporting skeleton, D represents a group represented by Formula (IIa), m represents an integer of from 1 to 8,

wherein the group represented by Formula (IIa) is a group represented by Formula (IIIa):

wherein L 1 represents a (n1+1)-valent linking group including a group obtained by combining one selected from the group consisting of —O—and —C(═O)—O—with one or more selected from the group consisting of an alkylene group, an alkenylene group, and a trivalent or tetravalent group derived from alkane or alkene, n1 represents an integer of from 1 to 3, and E l represents a group represented by Formula (IIIb) or Formula (IVb), and

wherein the group represented by Formula (IIIc) is a group selected from groups represented by the following Formulae (IIIa-3) to (IIIa-6):

wherein each of X p13 to X p16 independently represents a divalent linking group, and each of q13 to q16 independently represents an integer of 0 or 1.

2. The charge transporting film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the reactive compound represented by Formula (I) is a reactive compound represented by the following Formula (V):

wherein each of Ar 1 to Ar 4 independently represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, Ar 5 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group, D represents a group represented by Formula (IIa), each of c1 to c5 independently represents an integer of from 0 to 2, k represents 0 or 1, and the total number of D is from 1 to 8.

3. The charge transporting film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the total number of E in Formula (I) is from 2 to 6.

4. The charge transporting film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the total number of E in Formula (I) is from 4 to 6.

5. A photoelectric conversion device comprising: the charge transporting film according to claim 1 .

6. An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising:

a conductive substrate; and

a photosensitive layer which is provided on the conductive substrate,

wherein an outermost layer contains the charge transporting film according to claim 1 .

7. An image forming apparatus comprising:

an electrophotographic photoreceptor;

a charging unit that charges a surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor;

a latent image forming unit that forms an electrostatic latent image on a charged surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor;

a developing unit that develops the electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor with a toner to form a toner image; and

a transfer unit that transfers the toner image formed on the surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor onto a recording medium,

wherein the electrophotographic photoreceptor is the electrophotographic photoreceptor according to claim 6 .

8. A process cartridge which is detachable from an image forming apparatus, comprising:

an electrophotographic photoreceptor,

wherein the electrophotographic photoreceptor is the electrophotographic photoreceptor according to claim 6 .
