Origin and model for cooperative host-guest interaction affecting the orientation of guests in oriented nematic hosts
It has been observed for the binary systems of oriented nematic hosts and nonmesomorphic guests (substituted anthraquinones) that the orientational orders of amino-substituted anthraquinones ascend with increasing guest concentrations. A new quantitative anti experimental procedure has been proposed for obtaining the host-guest isotropic dispersion, isotropic electrostatic, anisotropic dispersion, and anisotropic electrostatic interaction energies. Among these four host-guest interaction energies, the host-guest isotropic dispersion interaction energy alone is demonstrated to be well correlated with the concentration dependence of the orientational order of the guest. A model is also proposed for the cooperative and isotropic host-guest interaction.
