Abstract
We synthesized novel tartaric acid derivatives possessing two rod-like units in twisted parallel. We investigated their helical twisting powers (HTP). Nematic liquid crystals doped with the dopants indicated high HTPs, and exhibited stable blue phases. Their liquid-crystallinities were investigated by polarized optical microscopy (POM).
