A comparison of the conformational distributions of the achiral symmetric liquid crystal dimer CB7CB in the achiral nematic and chiral twist-bend nematic phases

The sets of residual dipolar couplings between carbon and hydrogen nuclei obtained from the proton-encoded (13)C 2D NMR experiment are used to investigate the conformational changes which occur when the achiral symmetric liquid crystal dimer CB7CB changes from the achiral nematic to the chiral twist-bend nematic phase. It is found that these changes are a consequence of the chirality of the twist-bend nematic phase, rather than being the driving force for the stability of this phase.

Abstract

The sets of residual dipolar couplings between carbon and hydrogen nuclei obtained from the proton-encoded (13)C 2D NMR experiment are used to investigate the conformational changes which occur when the achiral symmetric liquid crystal dimer CB7CB changes from the achiral nematic to the chiral twist-bend nematic phase. It is found that these changes are a consequence of the chirality of the twist-bend nematic phase, rather than being the driving force for the stability of this phase.
