The composition dependence of the helical pitch, λ0=np, was measured in ten mixtures of nematic compounds and cholesteryl propionate. The plot of 1/λ0 against composition is found to deviate considerably from a straight line in some of these mixtures. The deviation is discussed in relation to the molecular structure of nematic components, and it is shown that the lateral intermolecular interaction is of importance in determining the helical pitch of mixtures.
