Abstract

The effect of correlation between the conformational and orientational degrees of freedom of biaxial molecules with internal rotation on the conformational, orientational, and mixed order parameters of the molecules and on the function of the conformational distribution of molecules in nematic liquid crystals was studied in terms of molecular statistical theory. The correlation has a strong effect on polarizability of molecules with π-conjugated fragments. An explanation is offered to the experimental dependences of the mean value and anisotropy of polarizability on the character and degree of orientational ordering of molecules in the nematic phase.
