Experimental and theoretical investigations of tartaric acid isomers by terahertz spectroscopy and density functional theory

The terahertz (THz) absorption spectra of l-, d-, and dl-tartaric acid have been measured in the frequency range from 0.2 to 2.0 THz by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The characteristic absorption peaks of these three tartaric acid isomers were obtained, which showed remarkable difference between enantiomers (l- and d-tartaric acid) and the racemic compound (dl-tartaric acid) in their peak frequencies. In parallel with the experimental study, theoretical calculations on isolated-molecule and unit cell of tartaric acids using density functional theory (DFT) were also performed for simulating the experimental THz spectrum features, which were in good agreement with the experimental data. Results demonstrate that THz-TDS can distinguish the tiny diversity between tartaric acid chiral isomers and its racemic compound, and provided an effective method for molecular identification in biological and biomedical engineering.
