Abstract
The H-1 and H-1 NMR spectroscopy of the nematic liquid crystal ZLI 1132 con taining small amounts of the solutes 1,3,5- trichlorobenzene. p-dichloroben zene and acetone was investigated as a function of the pressure of a mixtur e of molecular hydrogen and deuterium gases above the sample. A general inc rease of solute orientational order with pressure was observed. Differences in behavior of the orientational order of the hydrogens compared to the ot her solutes are discussed.
