Abstract
Abstract Complex compounds of elements of sub-groups 1 and 8 of the periodic table in oxidation stages 1-4 with unsaturated ketones of the formula ##STR1## wherein R 1 and R 4 denote alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl and R 2 and R 3 denote hydrogen or alkyl, are outstandingly suitable for activating substrate surfaces for electroless metallization since these complexes are distinguished by a high storage stability. The palladium complexes of but-3-en-2-one and hept-3-en-2-one are preferred.
