Novel co-ordinated metal/boron compounds as biocides their methods of synthesis their use and their formulation

摘要

The invention includes the synthesis of multivalent metal complexes with boron containing complex organic anions. The complexes include or may include ligands. Complexes capable of being so synthesised are also disclosed as is their use as biocides which fix owing to low aqueous solubility. Intermediates of the process or complexes of the process (after heating or when provided with ligands low on the series) are also useful to strip multivalent metal cations or ligand forming compounds from an aqueous phase (usually by the movement of the complex with the attached multivalent metal cations or ligands into an organic solvent phase), thereby completing the synthesis.
