Abstract

Abstract : The regioselective H/D exchange ofl -lysine at different pHs can be correlated with the coordination modes of the lysine ions to the Ru surface as found by NMR. Abstract : Thanks to new water-soluble Ru nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized by sulfonated NHC ligands, we demonstrate that it is possible to monitor the catalyst/substrate interaction using NMR chemical shift perturbations (CSPs), under conditions that closely resemble those applied during the enantiospecific C–H deuteration ofl -lysine. Correlating the pH dependence of the interaction ofl -lysine with the surface of the RuNPs and its subsequent deuteration, our study underscores the importance of oriented binding to the surface as a critical factor for H/D exchange.
