FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing a catalyst for protium-deuterium isotopic exchange. Described is a method of producing a catalyst for protium-deuterium isotopic exchange, involving obtaining metal nanoparticles in a reverse micellar solution consisting of a metal salt solution, a surfactant which is sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulphosuccinate, and a nonpolar solvent, isooctane, followed by deposition on a support, wherein reduction of the metal salt takes place upon reaction with quercetin; the support used is Sibunit and the metal salt used is RhCl₃ or RuOHCl₃ and reverse micellar solutions of rhodium or ruthenium are prepared with molar ratio of the aqueous metal salt solution to the surfactant ranging from 1:1 to 10:1; a water-alcohol solution is then added in amount of 5-50 wt %, a quercetin solution is added in amount of 0.5-5 wt % and ammonia solution is added in amount of 10-30 wt %.

EFFECT: catalyst for protium-deuterium isotopic exchange, having high catalytic activity, is obtained.
