In modern, high resolution NMR spectroscopy, anisotropic parameters play an important role. They can be measured with the help of liquid crystalline mesophases or stretched polymer gels as so-called alignment media. Biologically occurring chiral polymers are of special interest as alignment media for this technique because they allow enantiomers to be distinguished.
