Abstract

Deuterium NMR spectra of chain perdeuterated hexa‐pentyloxy, ‐hexyloxy, ‐heptyloxy, and ‐octyloxy triphenylene (THE5, THE6, THE7, and THE8) were studied as functions of temperature in the mesophase region. The deuterium quadrupole splittings exhibited several characteristic features, in particular a steplike decrease in the splitting along the alkyl chain and an even–odd alteration in the methyl splittings within the homologous series. The results are interpreted in terms of possible conformational distributions of the alkyl chain. It is found that there is bending of the alkyl chains out of the aromatic plane, and a considerable degree of chain disorder.
