Abstract
We use the maximum entropy internal order (MEIO) method to reanalyze published 1HNMR dipolar couplings for biphenyl dissolved in nematic solvents allowing for geometry variations with dihedral angle ø. We find that all present experimental data are consistent with similar conformational distributions with a maximum at ø = 34–35°. Little rotational-conformational coupling has been found.
