Abstract 1 H n.m.r. spectra of N ‐phenylmaleimide have been investigated in isotropic as well as nematic phases; the chemical shifts, the direct dipolar and the indirect spin–spin coupling constants have been determined. The direct dipolar coupling constants are consistent with rapidly interconverting energetically equivalent twisted conformations of C 2 symmetry. Under the assumption that only two such conformers are predominantly present, the angle between the phenyl and the maleimide planes is determined as 52.9±0.9°.
