Liquid Crystals: A Tool for Studies on Chirality
Abstract
Nematic liquid crystals are extremely sensitive to optically active molecules, which, at very low concentration, convert them into cholesteric liquid crystals. The purpose of this report is to review recent applications of liquid crystals to chirality studies. A brief discussion of the structure and properties of liquid crystals is followed by a survey of the methods currently being employed for the determination of the pitch and handedness of cholesteric liquid crystals. Of special interest in the formation of induced‐cholestric phases are the twisting powers of optically active compounds and the structural relationships between dopants and nematics. Liquid crystals can be used, inter alia, for the detection of small optical activities and for the determination of thermal racemization barriers and absolute configurations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
