NMR Studies of Solutes in Liquid Crystals: Small Flexible Molecules

  • Chapter
NMR of Ordered Liquids

Abstract

The study of the conformational distribution of “flexible” molecules (i.e., molecules displaying large-amplitude, low-frequency torsional motions) in the liquid phase represents a fundamental subject, from the point of view of both theory (e.g., molecular modeling) and applications (e.g., therapeutic properties). In this context, NMR spectroscopy of molecules dissolved in liquid-crystalline solvents is unique, since no other technique can give such a large amount of experimental information.
