Abstract

Abstract Ionic liquids consisting of N-dodecyl-N-methyl pyrrolidinium bromide [C 12 MPB] in a mixture with D2O, decanol, and DMSO were for the first time found to give anisotropic molecular alignment in magnetic fields and are useful to measure residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) from polar analytes, for example, glucose. The system shows less quadrupolar splitting of the deuterated solvent signal compared with other liquid crystal systems and ...
