Abstract

Abstract A novel dichiral azobenzene compound which shows two kinds of highly ordered liquid-crystalline phases was prepared. One of the mesophases was found, by miscibility studies, to be a chirality-induced three-dimensional (3D) liquid crystal phase. We, for the first time demonstrate the photoinduced phase transition of the liquid-crystalline 3D structure.
