Abstract
Intrinsic flexibility of fatty acid and ester spin label probes in the nematic MBBA is investigated. The “flexibility gradient” in the absence of such a gradient in the supporting medium is remarkably strong. The ordering of flexible labels is compared with that of more rigid labels in MBBA and with the molecules of MBBA themselves.
