Abstract
The use of nematic liquid crystals as solvents in magnetic resonance experiments provides a potential source of information about the anisotropic interactions. To utilize this potential it is necessary to employ some model of the nematic mesophase in order to describe the ordering of the solute. Both the swarm and the distortion theory have been applied to the problem and in this paper it is shown that they lead to isomathematical conclusions.Keywords
