A simple chiral dopant molecule, (R)-1, possessing both rod- and arch-like units was prepared. It showed extremely large helical twisting powers (+123 to +228 μm−1) with P-helicity in nematic liquid crystal phases.

We have successfully synthesized porphyrin-core dendrimers with peripheral carbazole moieties, which can be electrochemically crosslinked. Moreover, these dendrimers exhibit discotic nematic liquid crystal phases with high hole mobilities.
