Bleach compositions comprising cobalt catalysts

摘要

Bleach compositions comprising certain carboxylate-containing cobalt catalysts are provided. More specifically, the invention relates to automatic dishwashing detergents and laundry compositions which provide enhanced cleaning/bleaching benefits (especially tea stain removal) through the selection of cobalt catalysts having the formula:[Co(NH3)5M]Tywherein cobalt is in the +3 oxidation state; and M is a substituted and unsubstituted C1-C30 carboxylate-containing ligand having the formula RC(O)O-.
