Abstract
From the dipolar couplings of orientationally ordered n-butane obtained by NMR spectroscopy we have calculated conformer probabilities using the modified Chord (Cd) and Size-and-Shape (CI) models to estimate the conformational dependence of the order matrix. All calculation methods make use of G aussian 03 structures for the gauche and trans conformers. Calculations were performed for both the Rotational Isomeric State (RIS) approximation, as well as a continuous gas-phase potential for the dihedral angle rotation. Conformational probability distribution functions for butane as a solute in the ordered liquid–crystal solvent are obtained.
