Simulations of Orientational Order of Solutes in Liquid Crystals

  • Chapter
NMR of Ordered Liquids

Abstract

Orientational ordering of molecules in liquid crystalline phases arises from the presence of anisotropic intermolecular forces. Examples of such forces are as follows: short-range repulsive forces which ultimately arise from the high energy associated with the overlap of molecular electronic wave functions, in connection with the Pauli exclusion principle; “electrostatic” forces, defined here as an interaction between permanent molecular electric multipole moments; dispersion forces which involve the interaction between induced electric multipole moments; and induction forces which involve the interaction between permanent and induced multipole moments. An important objective in the study of liquid crystals is to obtain a clear understanding of the effects of each of these component forces on the molecular organization within the phases. While such an understanding is not yet complete, substantial progress has been made using a combination of experimental, theoretical and computer simulation methods.
