Cover Feature: Biphasic Liquid Crystal and the Simultaneous Measurement of Isotropic and Anisotropic Parameters by Spatially Resolved NMR Spectroscopy (Chem. Eur. J. 54/2017)

Abstract

A moderately concentrated solution of a helically chiral polyisonitrile forms a stable two‐phase system in CDCl3 with the dense phase being close to isotropic and the less dense layer forming a completely anisotropic lyotropic liquid crystalline phase. This enables the enantiodifferentiating measurement of isotropic and anisotropic NMR parameters from a single sample by novel spatially resolved NMR methods.
