Summary

Description

Ball-and-stick model of the tartaric acid molecule, an acid found in grapes and wine. This image shows the naturally occurring R,R isomer, also known as L-tartaric acid and (counterintuitively) as dexto-tartaric acid.

Atom positions based on a crystallographic study of of quinaldic acid and L-(+)-tartaric acid crystallized in a 2:1 ratio (see source).
