Abstract
Compounds of the following formula are suitable as activators for peroxy compounds in laundry detergents and cleaning products: [LnMmXp]zYq (1) in which M is manganese in oxidation stage II, III, IV, V and/or VI or cobalt in oxidation stage II and/or III, X is a coordination group or bridging group, Y is a counterion in the corresponding stoichiometric amount to balance a charge z present, where z as the metal complex charge, can be positive, zero or negative, n and m, independently of one another, are integers of from 1 to 4, p is an integer from 0 to 15, q is z/charge of Y L is a ligand of the formula (2) in which substituents R1 to R8 are as defined in the description.
Claims9
A laundry detergent or cleaning product, comprising a peroxide compound and a bleach catalyst compound of the formula 1
- [LnMmXp]zYq (1)
- in which
- M is manganese in oxidation stage II, III, IV, V and/or VI or cobalt in oxidation stage II and/or III,
- X is a coordination group or bridging group,
- Y is a counterion in the corresponding stoichiometric amount to balance a charge z present, where
- z as the metal complex charge, can be positive, zero or negative,
- n and m, independently of one another, are integers of from 1 to 4,
- p is an integer from 0 to 15,
- q is z/charge of Y
- L is a ligand of the formula (2)
- in which
- R1, R2 independently of one another are hydrogen, C1- to C10-alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl,
- R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, independently of one another, are hydrogen, C1- to C30-alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl, C1- to C4-alkoxy groups, substituted or unsubstituted amino or ammonium groups, halogen atoms, sulfo groups, carboxyl groups, or groups of the formulae —(CH2)r—COOH, —(CH2)r—SO3H, —(CH2)r—PO3H2, —(CH2)i-OH, in which r is an integer from 0 to 4 and I is an integer from 1 to 4, and the specified acid groups may also be in salt form, with the exception of compounds of the formula 1 in which M=Mn, x=H2O, z=zero and R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 are hydrogen.
