We have implemented a theoretical model for the numerical evaluation of the helical twisting power of chiral dopants in liquid crystal phases, on the basis of their shape and of solvent macroscopic properties. After summarizing the fundamentals of the method, the numerical procedure is briefly illustrated and the application to the case of biphenyl derivatives is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
