The present invention relates to the use of metal complex compounds having hydrazide ligands as oxidation catalysts. Further aspects of the invention are formulations comprising such metal complex compounds, novel metal complex compounds and novel ligands. The metal complex compounds are used especially for enhancing the action of peroxides, for example in the treatment of textile material, without at the same time causing any appreciable damage to fibers and dyeings. There is also no appreciable damage to fibers and dyeings if these metal complexes are used in combination with an enzyme or a mixture of enzymes.
