This paper describes an analysis of 1H-1H residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in diphenylmethane (DPM) dissolved in a nematic liquid crystal, reported by Celebre et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 118, 6417 (2003)]. In that article, the conformational distribution function for DPM was extracted from the RDCs, using the additive potential (AP) model which is based on the molecular-field theory. The AP approach is a powerful, and frequently used, tool for analysis of the nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) parameters in liquid crystals. It requires, however, a priori knowledge of the functional form of the torsional potential, which may even for a simple molecule, such as DPM, be complicated to determine. Here, we analyze the same set of the RDCs using our APME procedure, which is a hybrid model based on the AP approach and maximum entropy (ME) theory. The APME procedure does not require any assumptions about the functional form of the torsional potential and, in contrast with the ME method, is applicable to weakly ordered systems. In the investigation reported in the present study, the results from the APME analysis are in good agreement with the AP interpretation, whereas the ME approach essentially fails in the extraction of the conformational distribution function for DPM.
