Abstract
⺠TDPABA is a semi-phasmidic liquid crystal giving nematic and columnar phases. ⺠We study orientational order properties of TDPABA by 13C NMR and DFT. ⺠TDPABA molecules form dimeric structures in solution and in the nematic phase. ⺠Order parameters in the nematic phase are quite high. ⺠Motion about column axes is frozen in the columnar phase.
