  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The complexation of Mg<jats:sup>II</jats:sup> with adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) is omnipresent in biochemical energy conversion, but is difficult to interrogate directly. Here we use the spin‐<jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="graphic/ange202207137-math-0001.png" xlink:title="urn:x-wiley:00448249:media:ange202207137:ange202207137-math-0001" /> β‐emitter <jats:sup>31</jats:sup>Mg to study Mg<jats:sup>II</jats:sup>‐ATP complexation in 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate (EMIM‐Ac) solutions using β‐radiation‐detected nuclear magnetic resonance (β‐NMR). We demonstrate that (nuclear) spin‐polarized <jats:sup>31</jats:sup>Mg, following ion‐implantation from an accelerator beamline into EMIM‐Ac, binds to ATP within its radioactive lifetime before depolarizing. The evolution of the spectra with solute concentration indicates that the implanted <jats:sup>31</jats:sup>Mg initially bind to the solvent acetate anions, whereafter they undergo dynamic exchange and form either a mono‐ (<jats:sup>31</jats:sup>Mg‐ATP) or di‐nuclear (<jats:sup>31</jats:sup>MgMg‐ATP) complex. The chemical shift of <jats:sup>31</jats:sup>Mg‐ATP is observed up‐field of <jats:sup>31</jats:sup>MgMg‐ATP, in accord with quantum chemical calculations. These observations constitute a crucial advance towards using β‐NMR to probe chemistry and biochemistry in solution.</jats:p>
