Translational motion in solution, either diffusion or fluid flow, is at the heart of chemical and
biochemical reactivity. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) provides a powerful non …

Ferroelectric and antiferroelectric smectic liquid crystalline (LC) phases are still at the center
of investigations and interests for both their fundamental properties and variety of …

Recent progresses of NMR spectroscopy to the study of liquid crystals and related ordered
systems are surveyed. Particular attention will be devoted to review suitably tailored NMR …

We present a fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulation of the smectic phase of the ionic
liquid crystal (ILC) 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate,[C16MIm][NO3]. We have …

A set of mesogens considered as model molecules to the technologically important twist-
bend (NTB) nematogens are investigated. They consist of a three-ring core connected to a …

The unique power of NMR spectroscopy in anisotropic media (LX-NMR) as a tool to obtain
local and bulk structural information, combined with the effectiveness of molecular dynamics …

Differences in the temperature behaviour of orientational ordering of structurally equivalent
side-chain liquid single crystal elastomers (LSCEs) with 2H-labelled crosslinker and …

Molecules exhibiting a thermotropic liquid-crystalline property have acquired significant
importance due to their sensitivity to external stimuli such as temperature, mechanical …

Solid‐state and liquid‐state NMR spectroscopic techniques are used to describe at
molecular level the behaviour of a de Vries liquid crystal (namely the mesogen 9HL) at the …

In the field of chiral smectic liquid crystals, orthoconic antiferroelectric liquid crystals
(OAFLCs) have attracted the interest of the scientific community due to the very high tilt …
