Abstract
The synthesis and mesomorphic properties of six monomers and six sidechain liquid-crystal polymers with a chiral center are described. The polysiloxan es were prepared by the hydrosilation of monomers with poly(hydromethylsilo xane)s. Most of the polymers exhibit a wide range of the chiral smectic C p hase (SmC*).
