Description: BLEACH COMPOSITIONS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to bleaching and detergent compositions which comprise a catalytically effective amount of a transition-metal bleach catalyst which is a complex of a transition-metal and a cross-bridged macropolycyclic ligand The present invention further relates to a method for bleaching/cleaning fabπc with a catalytically effective amount of said transition-metal bleach catalyst wherein the method is performed substantially free of any organic or inorganic peroxygen compound or precursors to any organic or inorganic peroxygen compound BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Bleaching of fabric is essentially exposing soiled or stained fabπc to a chemical reaction the purpose of which is to eliminate the soil or stain. At one point ι, ι time, bleaching involved exposure of fabπc to a solution of hypochloπte. Therefore, fabric which was colored or dyed via sensitive pigments were excluded from treatment with bleach. To the benefit of the consumer, formulators developed various forms of bleach inter aha peroxygen bleaching systems which typically comprise a source of hydrogen peroxide and a bleach activator. This combination of source of hydrogen peroxide and activator plays a dominating role in effective, safe bleaching compositions. An effective example of this peroxygen bleaching system employs perborate (peroxygen source) and nonanoyloxybenzene sulfonate (activator). In order to boost the performance of bleaching agents and to develop bleaching systems which are safe to any type of dyed or colored fabric inter alia silk, polyester blends, cotton, nylon, formulators have continued to develop peroxygen bleaching systems, as well as new methods of forming activated oxygen. However, there still remains a need in the art for a bleaching system which will effectively bleach fabπc without the need for reactive chemicals such as peroxides, sources of peroxide, and/or mixtures thereof. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention meets the aforementioned needs in that it has been surprisingly discovered that bleaching of soils and stains can be accomplished in the absence of a source of hydrogen peroxide or other peroxygen bleaching agent. In other words, it has been surprisingly discovered that effective bleaching of soils and stains can be accomplished solely with a transition-metal bleach catalyst according to the present invention. A first aspect of the present invention relates to bleaching compositions comprising: A) a catalytically effective amount of a transition-metal bleach catalyst which is a complex of a transition-metal and a cross-bridged macropolycyclic ligand; and B) the balance earners and other adjunct ingredients; provided said composition is substantially free of any organic or inorganic peroxygen compounds. The present invention further relates to a method for cleaning and/or bleaching soils and stams on fabrics, said method comprising the step of contacting the fabric m need of cleaning and/or bleaching with an aqueous solution containing a composition which is substantially free of a peroxygen source and which comprises: a) a catalytically effective amount of a transition-metal bleach catalyst which is a complex of a transition-metal and a cross-bridged macropolycyclic ligand; and b) the balance earners, fillers, and other adjunct ingredients; provided the concentration of said transition metal bleach catalyst in the aqueous solution is at least about 0.01 ppb and said composition is substantially free of any organic or inorganic peroxygen compounds. The compositions and methods of the present invention are suitable for cleaning/bleaching any surface in need of stain removal. For example, hard surface cleaners and automatic dishwashing compositions can employ the bleach catalysts of the present invention in applications which are substantially free of any organic or inorganic peroxygen compounds. These and other objects, features, and advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from a reading of the following detailed descπption and the appended claims. All percentages, ratios and proportions herein are by weight, unless otherwise specified. All temperatures are in degrees Celsius (° C) unless otherwise specified. All documents cited are in relevant part, incorporated herein by reference. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the surprising discovery that bleaching of soils and stains can be accomplished by a transition-metal catalyst in the absence an added peroxygen bleach. Sources of peroxygen bleaches include, but are not limited to. sources of hydrogen peroxide inter alia hydrogen peroxide, percarbonate, perborate. Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal percarbonate and perborate are typically found in laundry bleaching systems. These sources of hydrogen peroxide are typically formulated with one or more bleach activators inter aha nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (NOBS), tetraacetylethylenediamme (TAED). Bleach activators are typically viewed as precursors to the less stable but more reactive peroxyacid bleaching agents Peroxyacids are formed in situ when the bleach activator (peroxyacid precursor) reacts with hydrogen peroxide or hydroperoxide anion via a perhydrolysis reaction In addition, peroxyacids can comprise a peroxygen bleaching system. Although these systems do not have the range of formulatabihty now enjoyed by systems such as NOBS/perborate, nevertheless, suitable methods for formulating peroxyacids inter aha the amido peroxyacid, NAPAA, as described m U S. 5.536.435 Chapman et al., issued July 16, 1996 included herein by reference. Absence of Peroxygen Sources The compositions of the present invention, as well as the methods for cleaning and/or bleaching of fabric which utilize the compositions of the present invention are substantially free of any peroxygen source such as hydrogen peroxide, peroxyacid etc. The compositions of the present invention need only have an effective amount of the herein below described catalyst present for effective bleaching. For the purposes of the present invention the term "substantially free" is defined as "the formulator does not include in the composition any peroxygen compound or source of peroxygen at a level required for either effective bleaching without a transition metal catalyst, or which would provide an increase m effectiveness of bleaching in the presence of a transition metal catalyst as defined herein." Therefore, as will be further described herein below, effective bleaching of stains can be accomplished by simply adding an aqueous or non-aqueous solution of a catalyst as described herein to fabπc which is stained, preferably the fabπc is m an aqueous solution when contacted with the catalyst. However, it is recognized that because of factors outside the control of the formulator inter aha source of product raw materials, unwanted decomposition of one or more ingredients, that a source of peroxygen may be introduced and/or formed unknowingly in the product. The compositions of the present invention do not require any peroxygen source, but the presence of any minor amounts will not effect the performance of the bleaching compositions described herein. Formulators may typically include a small amount of a source of hydrogen peroxide into compositions for the purposes of stabilizing enzymes, for example, a minor amount of perborate may be added. However, this amount of perborate is typically so minor that it has no effect on the bleaching capacity of the compositions of the present invention. In cases where the formulator has added a minor amount of an oxidant, or other source of peroxide for the purposes of stabilizing an adjunct ingredient, for the purposes of the present invention, those compositions are still defined as "substantially free" of a source of peroxygen as defined herein above if they do not provide additional bleaching activity on stains under typical use conditions. For example, a "substantially free" composition can include an amount of peroxygen source provided the degree to which the catalyst is effective is substantially the same as if the source of peroxygen were absent. For the purposes of the present invention, any composition which comprises less than 0.1%, preferably less than 0.01% of a primary oxidant, such as a pre-formed peracid or a source of hydrogen peroxide is considered "substantially free" as further defined herein above Additionally, any laundry liquor, laundry wash water, pre-soak bath, or other fabπc or surface cleaning solution, wherein the present catalysts are used and which comprises less than 0 001% by weight of a source of peroxygen, pre-formed or otherwise formed in situ, is defined herein as "substantially free" as defined herein above. Stated otherwise, if the catalysts of the present invention are used to bleach stains on fabric, or otherwise clean/bleach a hard surface or dishware, and the solution containing the catalyst has a concentration of a source of peroxygen less than 0.001%, that solution is defined herein as "substantially free" of a source of peroxygen. Bleach Catalyst The compositions of the present invention comprise an effective amount of a bleach catalyst. The term "an effective amount" is defined as "an amount of the transition-metal bleach catalyst present in the present invention compositions, or duπng use according to the present invention methods, that is sufficient, under whatever comparative or use conditions are employed, to result in at least partial oxidation of the material sought to be oxidized by the composition or method." Typically the material to be oxidized is an unwanted substance inter alia food and beverage stains, greasy/oily stains, body soils on fabric, however, this is not the limitation to which the invention is applicable. Oxidation m the absence of a source of peroxygen has wide applicability and the present invention is not limited solely to bleaching and/or cleaning of fabric. For example, automatic dishwashing compositions are an embodiment of the present invention wherein bleaching of a stain with a composition and/or with a solution which is "substantially free" of a source of peroxygen is a part of the present invention. The same is equally true for hard surface cleaning compositions and solutions which comprise hard surface cleaning compositions which are "substantially free" of a source of peroxygen. Preferably the compositions of the present invention compπse from about 1 ppb (0.0000001%o), more preferably from about 100 ppb (0.00001%), yet more preferably from about 500 ppb (0.00005%), still more preferably from about 1 ppm (0.0001%) to about 99.9%, more preferably to about 50%. yet more preferably to about 5%, still more preferably to about 500 ppm (0.05%) by weight of the composition, of a transition-metal bleach catalyst as described herein below In the broadest view, the transition-metal bleach catalyst of the present invention comprises l) a transition metal selected from the group consisting of Mn(II), Mn(III), Mn(IV), Mn(V), Fe(II), Fe(III), Fe(IV), Co(I), Co(II), Co(III), Nι(I), Nι(II), Nι(III), Cu(I), Cu(II), Cu(III), Cr(II), Cr(III), Cr(IN), Cr(V), Cr(VI), V(ffl).

Granular formulations typically comprise from about 10% to about 80%, more typically from about 15% to about 50% by weight, of the detergent builder Lower or higher levels of builder, however, are not meant to be excluded. Inorganic or P-contaimng detergent builders include, but are not limited to, the alkali metal, ammonium and alkanolammonium salts of polyphosphates (exemplified by the tnpolyphosphates, pyrophosphates, and glassy polymeric meta-phosphates), phosphonates, phytic acid, silicates, carbonates (including bicarbonates and sesquicarbonates), sulphates, and aluminosihcates. However, non-phosphate builders are required in some locales. Importantly, the compositions herein function surprisingly well even in the presence of the so-called "weak" builders (as compared with phosphates) such as citrate, or in the so-called "underbuilt" situation that may occur with zeolite or layered silicate builders. Examples of silicate builders are the alkali metal silicates described in U.S. 4,664.839 Rieck, issued May 12, 1987. NaSKS-6 is the trademark for a crystalline layered silicate marketed by Hoechst (commonly abbreviated herein as "SKS-6"). Examples of carbonate builders are the alkaline earth and alkali metal carbonates as disclosed in German Patent Application No. 2,321,001 published on November 15, 1973. Alummosilicate builders are useful in the present invention. Examples of suitable alummosilicate builders are described in U.S. 4,274,975 Corkhill et al. included herein by reference. Alummosilicate builders are of great importance in most currently marketed heavy duty granular detergent compositions, and can also be a significant builder ingredient in liquid detergent formulations. Alummosilicate builders include those having the empirical formula: [M z (zAlO 2 ) y ]-xH 2 O wherein z and y are integers of at least 6, the molar ratio of z to y is in the range from 1.0 to about 0.5, and x is an integer from about 15 to about 264. Preferred synthetic crystalline alummosilicate ion exchange mateπals useful herein are available under the designations Zeolite A, Zeolite P (B), Zeolite MAP and Zeolite X. Organic detergent builders suitable for the purposes of the present invention include, but are not restricted to, a wide vaπety of polycarboxylate compounds. As used herein, "polycarboxylate" refers to compounds having a plurality of carboxylate groups, preferably at least 3 carboxylates. Polycarboxylate builder can generally be added to the composition in acid form, but can also be added in the form of a neutralized salt. When utilized m salt form, alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium, and lithium, or alkanolammonium salts are preferred.

Citrate builders, e.g , citric acid and soluble salts thereof (particularly sodium salt), are polycarboxylate builders of particular importance for heavy duty liquid detergent formulations due to their availability from renewable resources and their biodegradabihty. Citrates can also be used in granular compositions, especially in combination with zeolite and/or layered silicate builders. Oxydisuccmates are also especially useful m such compositions and combinations.
