	abstract = {An overview is presented of modern NMR techniques and a variety of experimental and theoretical tools employed in the study of solutes dissolved in liquid crystals. The NMR techniques involve multiple quantum and spectral subtraction methods, In addition, various experimental and theoretical tools are discussed, including: the theoretical background of observed order parameters; the use of,magic mixtures{\textquoteright} to separate orientational contributions; the reorientation-vibration interaction; the use of model calculations based on size and shape of the various solutes; and the use of computer simulations. Applications to the benchmark probe molecules hydrogen, methane, ethane, and butane and their isotopomers are treated. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {The effects of the nature and concentration of the solutes 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene (TCB), benzene, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, m-dichlorobenzene, and p-dichlorobenzene on orientational order in the nematic liquid crystal N-(4-ethoxybenzylidene)-2,6-dideutero-4-n-butylaniline are investigated using NMR spectroscopy. Seven separate samples containing differing concentrations of all solutes are investigated at constant temperature, at constant reduced temperature, at constant TCB orientational order, and at constant liquid crystal orientational order. Various schemes for comparison of orientational order among the samples are examined. For the experiments performed here, the most consistent method to compare solute orientational order in the different samples is to multiply results from the experiments performed at constant temperature by the factor needed to equate the TCB order parameters.

For samples containing the three solutes p-xylene, p-dichlorobenzene, and 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene, multiple quantum (MQ) nuclear magnetic resonance was used to aid in the analysis of the complex high-resolution spectra of the g-xylene. The high-resolution spectra of 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene and p-dichlorobenzene were easily identified and analyzed once the calculated p-xylene spectrum was subtracted from the experimental one. The methyl groups of p-xylene, p-chlorotoluene, and toluene have similar geometries when the structure is determined from dipolar couplings corrected for harmonic vibrations.},

	abstract = {Previous studies using dideuterium as a solute have demonstrated the importance for orientation of the interaction between the solute molecular quadrupole moment and the average electric field gradient present in liquid crystals. With the aim of learning about additional orientational mechanisms, we have studied the temperature dependence of the H-2-NMR spectra of the liquid crystal 5CB-d(19) as the solute in three liquid crystal mixtures: 55 wt \% 1132/EBBA, 56.5 wt \% 1132/EBBA and 70 wt \% 5CB/EBBA. In these mixtures, the contribution from the environment to the average electric field gradient at the H-2 nucleus of dideuterium is zero. The spectra of 5CB-d(19) in the mixtures 55 wt \% 1132/EBBA and 56.5 wt \% 1132/EBBA are equivalent, but are different from those in 70 wt \% 5CB/EBBA. The spectra of 5CB in 55 wt \% 1132/EBBA and 70 wt \% 5CB/EBBA are analysed using two different models for the short range potential, and parameters of the models are used to compare the potentials in the different mixtures. For a given spectral splitting of the chain C-1 deuteron, the reduced short range potential is the same in all three mixtures studied. The spectral differences observed are a consequence of different nematic-isotropic phase transition temperatures combined with the effect of trans/gauche-isomerization in the hydrocarbon chain.},
