Two mesogens were connected with iminodicarbonyl (O=C-N(R)-C=O) moiety to generate a twisted arrangement of the two mesogens. We introduced an asymmetric carbon to α-position of the N-alkyl group to control chirality of the twisted arrangement. Racemic, (R)-, and (S)-forms of the compounds were synthesized. The behaviors and properties were investigated with polarized light microscopy and DSC.
