The reduction of Cu (II) ions in CuNaYzeolites occurs via a two-step mechanism in which Cu (I) is first formed and then reduced to metallic copper. The first step in the reduction may be carried out by using relatively mild conditions, eg, H2 at 200 C for 1 hr, and it is completely reversible. Reduction in H2 at 400 C results in the formation of copper crystallites, some of whichgrow to a size of 300 Á after 20 hr of re-duction. The copper in these larger crystals may be reoxidized slowly to CuO. The smallermetal particles, which are postulated to reside within the zeolite cages, may be readily reoxidized to Cu (II), located at ex-change sites within the zeolite. Approximatelyhalf of the metallic copper is in the form of the larger crys-tallites and half is present in small clusters. The reduction and reoxidation was followed by quantitatively observing the H2 or O2 consumption and H2O produced in the reaction, while the amount of Cu (II) was de-termined by EPR spectroscopy. The presence of Cu (I) was detected by the ir and EPR spectra of the Cu+-CO and Cu+-NO complexes, respectively.
