BIS- AND TRIS-(U-OXO)-DIMANGANESE COMPLEX SALTS, THEIR PREPARATION AND THEIR USE

摘要

Disclosed and claimed are bis- and tris-(.mu.-oxo)-dimanganese complex salts of the formula I ¢LMn(.mu.-O)a(.mu.-OAc)bMnL!XAy (I) where Ac is a C2-C8-acyl group, a is 1, 2 or 3, b is 0 when a is 2 or 3 or b is 2 when a is 1, x indicates the number of positive charges and is 2 or 3, A is an anion, y is the number of anions A required to balance the positive charges and L is a ligand, such as ¢N,N-bis(2-pyridyl(methyl)-N-methylamine or ¢N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-ethylenediamine, as well as catalysts for the oxidation of organic compounds and catalysts in oxidative bleaches including the salts.
