Application

DL-Tartaric acid can be used:
  • In the Debus–Radziszewski reaction as a weak acid for the synthesis of imidazolium ionic liquid.[1]
  • As an additive in electrochemical deposition technique for the synthesis of bismuth thin films to be used as X-ray absorbers.[2]
  • As a complexing agent for the synthesis of nano-crystalline indium tin oxide (ITO) powder.[3]
  • As a dopant for the synthesis of polyaniline nanofibers and nanotubes by oxidation polymerization.[4]
