Recently, a type of ferroelectric nematic fluid has been discovered in liquid crystals in which the molecular polar nature at molecule level is amplified to macroscopic scales through a ferroelectric packing of rod-shaped molecules. Here, we report on the experimental proof of a polar chiral liquid matter state, dubbed helielectric nematic, stabilized by the local polar ordering coupled to the chiral helicity. This helielectric structure carries the polar vector rotating helically, analogous to the magnetic counterpart of helimagnet. The helielectric state can be retained down to room temperature and demonstrates gigantic dielectric and nonlinear optical responses. This matter state opens a new chapter for developing the diverse polar liquid crystal devices.

More than 30 new unsymmetric disubstituted, enantiotropic nematic azobenzenes are described. In contrast to the high melting symmetric disubstituted liquid crystalline azobenzenes they partly have melting points only a little bit higher than room-temperature and nematic ranges of up to 34 °C. They represent an interesting new class of nematic liquid crystals.

Planar multiaromatic molecules hierarchically and selectively arrange into nematic chromonic liquid crystals in the room temperature ionic liquid 2-hydroxyethylammonium formate. In a proof-of-concept, these liquid crystals were used as reaction...
