Abstract
⺠We designed and synthesized two novel chiral molecules containing cationic groups as functional surfactants for host liquid crystals (LCs). ⺠The novel chiral molecules containing cationic groups had good optical activity. ⺠Cationic polar groups did not affect optical rotation direction, but could influence the molar rotation of chiral compounds. ⺠These chiral molecules could convert nematic phase liquid crystals to cholesteric phase liquid crystals.
