Abstract
The relation between the molecular interaction of colloidal particles in solution and the formation of an anisotropic phase is examined in two special cases. It is shown that for an asymmetrical potential a continuous transition from the unordered to the nematic state is possible, while for a symmetrical interaction potential the most stable transition is discontinuous.
