33. Low-level ab initio calculations at the STO-3G level suggest that the global minimum of 2-phenylpyrimidine, which forms the core structure of PhP1, adopts a planar conformation in the gas phase: Barone, V.; Commisso, L.; Lelj, F.; Russo, N. Tetrahedron 1985, 41, 1915.

35. A similar mechanism of chiral induction was proposed for cholesteric phases induced by atropisomeric biaryl dopants in order to account for the correlation found between helical twist sense of the cholesteric phase and that of the dopant: Gottarelli, G.; Hibert, M.; Samori, B.; Solladié, G.; Spada, G. P.; Zimmermann, R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1983, 105, 7318.
36. 2 = 0.994).
37. p may be ascribed to a difference in polarizability anisotropy of the phenylpyrimidine cores that should, in principle, affect the strength of dopant/host chiral conformational interactions. A systematic investigation of this relationship is underway, and results will be published elsewhere.

39. A similar effect was reported for a more conventional type I dopant and accounted for by considering the "rotational damping" of the stereo-polar unit with increasing chain length: Goodby, J. W.; Patel, J. S.; Chin, E. J. Phys. Chem. 1987, 91, 5151.
