Abstract
Optically active, mesogenic 1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxylates are suitable as dopes in liquid-crystal mixtures. They result in liquid-crystalline ferroelectric phases having short switching times and in electroclinic phases having large electroclinic coefficients. Their particular advantage is that they induce a helix of very large pitch, meaning that helix compensation by further dopes is unnecessary. In addition, the 1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxylates exhibit high UV stability.
