12. Although it might seem intuitive that the Δ-isomers would be more strongly adsorbed to the Δ-modified clay, it has been shown previously that the situation is reverse for certain tris- and mixed 1,3-diketonates of Ru(III) (ref 4).

22. The definition of Q being traceless, and consequently eqs 2 and 3, involves an approximation in which the isotropic contribution of a dopant is left out of consideration. In reality, effects of chirality are not necessarily canceled by the isotropic distribution, and Q is better regarded as anisotropic content of the surface chirality.

26. NI - T = 13 °C compare at about 2:1 ratio, although the axis labeling for these plots is not clear.
27. NI - T = 15 °C compare roughly at 8:5 (in pN) for 6CB to 7CB, for instance.

The odd-even alternation in the HTP values of certain chiral dopants has been observed in the presence (at 20 mol %) of 4,4′- dialkoxyazoxyzenzenes in a nematic host, although the effect upon elongation from methoxy to ethoxy terminal groups is much weaker (2-5% diminution) in this case.
