Abstract
The ^19^F spectra with natural‐abundance carbon‐13 satellites of C~6~F~5~X (X = H, Cl or I) in ZLI 1695 liquid crystal were analysed. Excluding fluorine‐fluorine dipolar coupling constants from the fitting, the vibrationally corrected structures of these molecules were derived and compared with those calculated at DFT/B3LYP level of theory with the aug‐cc‐pVTZ basis set. The results show that pentafluorobenzene did not exhibit noticeable distortion of the aromatic ring, while chloropentafluorobenzene and iodopentafluorobenzene molecules showed some deformations in their determined structures. Relative anisotropies of F–F couplings have been deduced with accuracy for C~6~F~5~H molecule. Due to uncertainties in structure determination of C~6~F~5~Cl and C~6~F~5~I molecules, it was not possible to obtain precise values for all the corresponding anisotropies. In addition, it was found that the orientation of these molecules in the solvent used can be qualitatively explained in terms of dispersion forces. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract It is demonstrated that in a case where neither the proton nor the natural‐abundance ^13^C‐satellite spectra of a partially oriented molecule carry enough structural information, one can determine the entire molecular geometry by the combined use of several liquid crystals as solvents.
