Abstract:

In situ Raman spectra of D,L-mandelic acid were characterized under high pressure generated by diamond anvil cell at room temperature. The pressure was up to 2.2 GPa. Around 0.6 GPa, some original Raman peaks disappear or split, and some new Raman peaks emerge. Within the experimental pressure range, the curve of Raman frequence-pressure presented inflexions at 0.6 GPa, indicating a phase transition from Pbca to P21/c for D,L-mandelic acid has occurred at this pressure. On total release of pressure, the Raman spectra returns to its initial state, implying this transition is reversible.

Key words: D, L-Mandelic acid, Diamond anvil cell, Raman spectrum, High pressure, Phase transition
