Tetramine copper complexes and heat

Another question from me:

Does a solution of tetraamine copper(II) hydroxide resist boiling?

Two questions. One; is it an aqueous solution? Two; what other species are in solution?

it begins with Cu 2+ and NH4+ ions in aqueous solution, and forms Cu(NH3)4 2+ complex. i dont recall having boiled this myself, so dont know. maybe i can test it tonight though.
