Abstract

Abstract The mesogenic power of several central rigid cores is measured by means of depolarized Rayleigh scattering. It is shown that there is a close relation between the angular correlation parameter J and the mesogenic power that lead us to define mesogenic and non mesogenic rigid cores. An attempt is made to explain these facts by consideration of certain different structural aspects.
