Abstract
A facile synthesis of S-(+)-4-(2′-methylbutyl)phenol and its interaction with a number of different acids are used to provide a wide variety of new chiral nematic liquid crystals. These new cholesterogens display a range of liquid crystal and other physical properties, and are potentially useful for application in display device and other technologies. Of particular interest in this respect are the materials containing two chiral centres and which therefore have very small helical pitch lengths-as low as 0.1 μm.Keywords
