Popis: Linear relationships between the inverse of the quadrupolar coupling constant, 1/χ and the asymmetry parameter η are obtained for the 7O-nucleus of acetone oriented in four different nematic phases, using the information contained in 1H- and 17O-NMR spectra. The absence of a unique intersecting point of thee relations shows that the quadrupolar constants differ slightly between polar and apolar nematic phases, while the orientation remains similar. By combination of the experimentally derived relations with predictions from the theory of Townes and Dailey, values for χ = 11.15 MHz and η = 0.47 in polar media and χ = 11.35 Mhz and η = 0.15 in an apolar medium are obtained, which are similar to those found in the gas and solid phases.
