The determination of the conformation of the aromatic rings in a lateral fluoro-substituted liquid crystal by C-13 NMR spectroscopy
The determination of the conformation of the aromatic rings in a lateral fluoro-substituted liquid crystal by C-13 NMR spectroscopy
A C-13-{H-1} NMR spectrum of 2,2'-difluoro-4"-hexoxy-4-pentyl-[1,1' : 4',1'']-terphenyl in the nematic phase has been obtained and analysed to yield a set of partially-averaged dipolar couplings, D-ij(CF), which are used to determine the relative conformation of the two fluorinated rings. The probability distribution for the inter-ring angle is found to be peaked at 47.5+/-2.5° and 122.5+/-2.5°. The integrated, normalised probability that the inter-ring angle is less than 90° is 0.43.

Abstract
A C-13-{H-1} NMR spectrum of 2,2'-difluoro-4"-hexoxy-4-pentyl-[1,1' : 4',1'']-terphenyl in the nematic phase has been obtained and analysed to yield a set of partially-averaged dipolar couplings, D-ij(CF), which are used to determine the relative conformation of the two fluorinated rings. The probability distribution for the inter-ring angle is found to be peaked at 47.5+/-2.5° and 122.5+/-2.5°. The integrated, normalised probability that the inter-ring angle is less than 90° is 0.43.
