Monte Carlo simulations demonstrating the effect of symmetric biphenyls (e.g. 4,4′-diiodo-biphenyl, DIBP) on polarity formation of an asymmetric analogue, e.g. 4-iodo-4′nitro-biphenyl (INBP). At zero content (xnutrient) of the symmetric component, reversal occurs in the upper part (see left-hand side). Addition of the symmetric component to the nutrient kept a low concentration favors at first a mono-polar state which for higher xnutrient changes into an inverted state compared with the initial reversal (Hulliger et al., 2014BB32).
