Reaction Steps

Mono-O-(3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecanoyl)pentaerythritol (hereafter mono-O-(phytanoyl)pentaerythritol; formula (6) above) and pure water were homogeneously mixed in accordance with the same procedure as in Example 3 to obtain the sample of mono-O-(3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecanoyl)pentaerythritol/water system. This sample of mono-O-(3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecanoyl)pentaerythritol/water system was subjected to the penetration experiment under a polarizing microscope, SAXS analysis, and dhc value determination based on the results of SAXS analysis in the same manner as in Example 3. As a result, bicontinuous type II Pn3m cubic liquid crystals were found to be stably formed at least in a temperature range between 1° C. and 65° C. The lattice constant of the cubic liquid crystals of 58.9% by mass of mono-O-(phytanoyl)pentaerythritol/water system was 10.6 nm (25° C.) to 8.3 nm (55° C.).
