Use of transition metal complex as activator for peroxy cpd.

摘要

Transition metal complexes of formula M(L)x(A)y (I) are used as activators for peroxy cpds. in oxidising, washing, cleaning or disinfecting solns. M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ro or Mo; x = 1-3; A = a charge-equalising anion ligand; y = 0-4; L = an organic ligand of formula (II): X = H, R3, OR3, NO2, ONO, F, Cl, Br or iodine; R1, R2, R3 = H, alkyl, alkenyl, benzyl, Ph or a cycloalkyl gp., which is opt. alkyl- and/or aryl-substd., with a total of 1-12C; m, n = 0 or 1.
