Context. The massive star-forming region Monoceros R2 (Mon R2) hosts the closest ultra-compact Hii region, where the photondominated region (PDR) between the ionized and molecular gas can be spatially resolved with current single-dish telescopes. Aims. We aim at studying the chemistry of deuterated molecules toward Mon R2 to determine the deuterium fractions around a highUV irradiated PDR and investigate the chemistry of these species. Methods. We used the IRAM-30 m telescope to carry out an unbiased spectral survey toward two important positions (namely IF and MP2) in Mon R2 at 1, 2, and 3 mm. This spectral survey is the observational basis of our study of the deuteration in this massive starforming region. Our high spectral resolution observations (∼0.25–0.65 km s −1 ) allowed us to resolve the line profiles of the different species detected. Results. We found a rich chemistry of deuterated species at both positions of Mon R2, with detections of C2D, DCN, DNC, DCO + , D2CO, HDCO, NH2D, and N2D + and their corresponding hydrogenated species and rarer isotopologs. The high spectral resolution of our observations allowed us to resolve three velocity components: the component at 10 km s −1 is detected at both positions and seems associated with the layer most exposed to the UV radiation from IRS 1; the component at 12 km s −1 is found toward the IF position and seems related to the foreground molecular gas; finally, a component at 8.5 km s −1 is only detected toward the MP2 position, most likely related to a low-UV irradiated PDR. We derived the column density of the deuterated species (together with their hydrogenated counterparts), and determined the deuterium fractions as Dfrac = [XD]/[XH]. The values of Dfrac are around 0.01 for all the observed species, except for HCO + and N2H + , which have values 10 times lower. The values found in Mon R2 are similar to those measured in the Orion Bar, and are well explained with a pseudo-time-dependent gas-phase model in which deuteration occurs mainly via ion-molecule reactions with H2D + ,C H 2D + and C2HD + . Finally, the [H 13 CN]/[HN 13 C] ratio is very high (∼11) for the 10 km s −1 component, which also agree with our model predictions for an age of ∼0.01 to a few 0.1 Myr. Conclusions. The deuterium chemistry is a good tool for studying the low-mass and high-mass star-forming regions. However, while low-mass star-forming regions seem well characterized with Dfrac(N2H + )o rDfrac(HCO + ), a more complete chemical modeling is required to date massive star-forming regions. This is due to the higher gas temperature together with the rapid evolution of massive protostars.
