Abstract
The temperature dependences of the pitch of induced helical structures in the ester liquid-crystal systems containing hydroxyphenyl benzoate derivatives and chiral N-aroyloxybenzylidene-S-α-phenylethylamines or N-aroyloxybenzylidene-S-α-benzylethylamines have been measured. The twisting power of chiral dopants is calculated and the temperature dependence of the helical pitch in the induced cholesteric (N *) and smectic C * mesophases is quantitatively characterized. The parameters A = dT is/dC that characterize the effect of dopants on the thermal stability of the N * phases are determined from the concentration dependences of the cholesteric-isotropic transition temperature T ts for the n-hexyloxyphenyl-n-butylbenzoate-chiral dopant systems. The results obtained are compared with the data for the 4-n-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (5CB)-based cholesteric systems induced by the chiral dopants under consideration.
