Solid-state ion-exchange from copper oxides into zeolites is shown to be possible at unprecedented low temperatures (≤ 250 °C) when facilitated by ammonia. The Cu mobility is proposed to involve [CuI(NH3)x]+ (x≥2) complexes that allow for simple preparation of over-exchanged zeolites with Cu/Al ratios > 0.5.
