ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE IN THE QUADRUPOLE SPLITTING OF WATER BETWEEN CATIONIC AND ANIONIC NEMATIC LYOTROPIC LIQUID CRYSTALS: 2H-NMR AND MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDY

Deuterium quadrupole splittings, of deuterated water, Δv, in anionic discotic nematic lyomesophases are always much larger than in cationic mesophases. To explore the possible origins of this difference, Δv and T1 relaxation times of HDO (H2O 0.2% D2O) and decanol (DeOH 14% a-d2),...
