Abstract
The structure of a lyotropic liquid crystalline phase with positive diamagnetic anisotropy (type I), that spontaneously orients in a magnetic field has been studied by means of water NMR quadrupole splittings, NMR diffusion and polarized absorption spectroscopy. It is concluded that this phase is built up of long rodlike aggregates. A preliminary study of a sample with negative diamagnetic anisotropy (type II) shows that this phase probably consists of lamellar aggregates. It is suggested that these phases are suitable as orientation matrices for studies of chromophores with polarized light spectroscopy.Keywords
