P-chloroaniline is one of the most important azo dye intermediates. It is a highly desired research on the identification of P-chloroaniline. Terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is sensitive to the molecule structure of compound. In this paper, the spectra of P-chloroaniline located at the region from 0.1 to 3 THz were tested by THz-TDS system, and then the geometry structure of p-chloroaniline at the range of 0 THz to 10 THz was optimized, resonance frequency was calculated by Gussian03 software based on the density functional theory (DFT). The results showed that the absorbance peaks at 1.96 THz and 2.20 THz were caused by the hydrogen bonding force or crystal phonon mode, and suggested that it is feasible to identify P-chloroaniline by THz-TDS, which is of great value to the examination of banned azo dyes in the future.
