Compounds charged in red light district? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tartrates

'compounds charged in red light district?' is the definition.
'tartrates' can be an answer for 'compounds'. I am not sure about the 'charged in red light district?' bit.

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for tartrates that I've seen is " acidic salts".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
