Abstract

Surfaces of articles are sensitized for the deposition of adherent metal from electroless metal solutions in contact therewith by prior treatment with a liquid containing an activatable complex of copper. The copper-containing complexes of the instant invention are the product of forming solutions comprising a halogen component, a cuprous component and a cupric component. The solutions may optionally be in contact with elemental metal.
