1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and birefringence of noncubic plastic single crystals (CH3)2CCl2–CCl4 have been measured. The investigation has demonstrated that in these crystals weak preferred orientations of molecules were observed. Concentration dependence of orientational ordering matrix of (CH3)2CCl2 molecules has been obtained from computer simulations of NMR line shape and birefringence data. It has been found that all ordering matrix elements become zero at mole fraction of 2,2-dichloropropane 0.5.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
