Orientationalordering of short and intermediate n-alkanes confined to silicon nanotubeshas been studied using ¹H NMR. The measured residual nucleardipolar couplings characterizing the degree of molecular ordering were foundto depend on the pore size and the molecular lengthin a complex way. It is inferred from the experimentalresults that the observed behavior is governed by concomitance ofsurface and intermolecular interactions as well as the effect ofconfinement.
