A NMR study on zero electric field gradient nematic liquid crystals

The role of intermolecular forces in describing the orientational nature of liquid crystals is not well understood. Previous studies using dideuterium as a solute in liquid crys- tals have demonstrated the importance for orientation of the interaction between the solute molecular quadrupole momen...
