The static 1D super(13)C and 2D Proton Encoded Local Field (PELF) NMR experiments are carried out in the nematic phase of a less viscous liquid crystal 4-(trans-4'-hexylcyclohexyl)-isothiocyanato benzene (6CHBT) with a view to find orientational order. The PELF spectra provide better resolution which facilitates the assignment of cyclohexyl and phenyl ring carbons relatively easy. For the cyclohexyl unit, four pairs of dipolar splitting are clearly noticed in contrast to earlier reports on structurally similar mesogens where only two pairs of doublets are seen. The linear relationship between anisotropic chemical shifts and orientational order is established and semi-empirical parameters are obtained to aid the study of the order behaviour of 6CHBT over the entire nematic range. The data further fitted to the Haller equation and a reasonably good agreement is observed. The temperature dependence trends of orientational order parameters extracted for various carbons using super(13)C- super(1)H dipolar couplings with those of super(13)C chemical shifts are compared. A gradual decrease in the order parameter is noticed for different molecular segments while traversing from the core to the aliphatic chain viathe cyclohexyl ring. The notable decreasing trends of order parameters along the chain are observed similar to those of the corresponding phenyl cyclohexanes reported earlier.
