摘要:
compound represented by formula (I): wherein R 1 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms; R 2 represents an alkyl group having from 2 to 16 carbon atoms; rings A, B, C, and D each represents a 1,4-phenylene group or a 1,4-phenylene group having one or two halogen atoms; Y represents a single bond, m and n each represents 0 or 1; p represents 0, 1, or 2; q represents 0 or an integer of from 1 to 6; and C * and C" each represents an asymmetric carbon atom in an (S)- or (R)-configuration, and a liquid crystal composition containing the compound of formula (I). The compound of formula (I) is a chiral liquid crystal compound exhibiting large spontaneous polarization, a long helical pitch, an SC * phase in a broad temperature range including room temperature, satisfactory orientation, and a high rate of response.
摘要:
A liquid crystalline compound represented by formula wherein R denotes an alkyl or alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, m and n are each 0 or 1, provided m and n are not 1 at the same time. X and Y each denote a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a nitro group, provided X and Y are not hydrogen atoms at the same time, and Q * denotes an optically active group having an asymmetric carbon atom and a linear or cyclic alkyl or alkenyl group which may be substituted by a halogen atom, or the like.
