Abstract
Chiral dopants are optically active substances used in liquid crystal systems. We have investigated the helical twisting power and its temperature dependences for the systematic rows of optically active organic compounds synthesized on the base of 2-methylbutanol and e-menthol. The compounds differ by molecular, chemical and spatial structure. Correlation between the value of helical twisting power and molecular structure of chiral dopants is analyzed. The mesogenity of new chiral dopants is also discussed.
