Terahertz absorption spectra of some saccharides and their metal complexes.

In this work, THz absorption spectra of some saccharides and their metal complexes were measured. The main purpose of this work is to investigate the M-O vibrations, intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds and other vibrations in the FIR region using powerful spectroscopic techniques adopting the metal-sugar complexes prepared in our laboratory. The M-O vibrations in the FIR spectra of metal-sugar complexes indicate the formation of metal complexes.
