ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are negatively and positively charged liquid toners for eleotrophotography (EP). The charge on the toner particle is obtained by adding cage complex molecules, or clathrates/cryptates, to the liquid toner. The cage complex molecules have at least three chains, with a least one electron pair donor atom in each chain, for a total of at least three electron pair donor atoms (EPD's). Or, the cage complex molecules have at least two connected rings, with a total of at least three EPD's in the molecule including at least one EPD in each of the connected rings. For negatively charged toner particles, the clathrates/cryptates are distributed in the liquid dispersion, and metal cations are weakly associated with anionic functional groups on the toner particle. This way, the clathrates/cryptates in dispersion complex selectively with the cations and strip them from the toner particle, leaving a negatively charged particle. For positively charged toner parities, the clathrates/cryptates are covalently bound to the toner particles, and weakly associated metal cations are added with corresponding anionic species to the liquid dispersion. This way, the clathrates/cryptaes on the toner particles complex selectively with the cations, and strip them from the dispersion, creating a positively charged particle.
