Reaction Steps

1-O-(5,9,13-trimethyltetradecyl)erythritol (formula (3) above) and pure water were mixed in accordance with the same procedure as in Example 3 to obtain the sample of 1-O-(5,9,13-trimethyltetradecyl)erythritol/water system. This sample of 1-O-(5,9,13-trimethyltetradecyl)erythritol/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 or Ia3d cubic liquid crystals were found to be stably formed at least in a temperature range between 1° C. and 75° C. The lattice constants of the Ia3d cubic liquid crystals in 53.7% by mass of the 1-O-(5,9,13-trimethyltetradecyl)erythritol/water system were 17.3 nm (20° C.), 17.2 nm (35° C.), and 17.1 nm (40° C.).
