USE OF TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES WITH NITROGEN-CONTAINING POLYDENTATE LIGANDS AS A BLEACHING CATALYST AND BLEACHING AGENT COMPOSITION

摘要

The present invention is directed to transition metal complexes that can be used as bleaching catalysts for peroxy compounds. The complexes contain a ligand of the general formula wherein B is a bridge member, such as o-phenylene or pyridine-2,6-diyl, and A represents the group -NH-CO-R<1 >or
