STUDY OF LIQUID CRYSTAL CONFORMATION BY MULTIPLE QUANTUM NMR: n-PENTYL CYANOBIPHENYL

Journal Article · · Chemical Physics Letters
The multiple quantum NMR spectrum of 4-cyano-4'-n-pentyl-d{sub 11}-biphenyl in the nematic phase is presented. The sub-spectra of the higher quantum transitions are easier to interpret than the single quantum spectrum. A preliminary analysis of the biphenyl conformation indicates that the dihedral angle is 32° ± 1°.
