Lanthanide complexes of aminopolycarboxylates reveal deuteration of aminoacetate carbons in alkaline aqueous media

Abstract

Hydrogen isotope exchange at aminoacetate carbons is facilitated in lanthanide aminopolycarboxylate complexes in NaOD D2O solution. Ionic radius-dependent yields revealed that Lu3+ is the choice. NMR and Raman spectroscopy evidence yields insights into selectivity, while theoretical calculations help in understanding the mechanism.
