The invention provides a novel bleaching composition comprising: an oxidatively stable bleach activator having structure 1 wherein Y1, Y3 and Y4 each represent a bridging group having zero, one, two or three carbon containing nodes for substitution, and Y2 is a bridging group having at least one carbon containing node for substitution, each said node containing a C(R), C(R1)(R2), or a C(R)2 unit and each R substituent is the same or different from the remaining R substituents and is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkynyl, alkylaryl, halogen, alkoxy or phenoxy, CH2CF3, CF3 and combinations thereof, or form a substituted or unsubstituted benzene ring of which two carbon atoms in the ring form nodes in the Y unit, or together with a paired R substituent bound to the same carbon atom form a cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl ring, which may include an atom other than carbon, e.g., cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl; M is a transition metal with oxidation states of I, II, III, IV, V or VI, or selected from Groups 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the Periodic Table of the Elements; Q is any counterion which would balance the charge of the compound on a stoichiometric basis; L is any labile ligand; and an effective amount of a source of an oxidizing compound.
