Abstract
The electric conductivity of twelve electrolytes dissolved in a nematic liquid crystal is investigated. The anisotropy ratio of the electric conductivity varies between 1.23 and 1.68 at room temperature, the highest values being caused by elongated ions. For some of the electrolytes the temperature dependence of the anisotropy ratio indicates the presence of cybotactic groups in the nematic phase
