2-O-(5,9,13,17-tetramethyloctadec-4-enyl)erythritol and water were homogeneously mixed in accordance with the same procedure as in Example 13 to obtain a sample of 2-O-(5,9,13,17-tetramethyloctadec-4-enyl)erythritol/water system. SAXS analysis of the sample of 2-O-(5,9,13,17-tetramethyloctadec-4-enyl)erythritol/water system was performed in the same manner as in Example 13. As a result, at least 4 sharp scattering peaks were observed. The peak value ratio exhibited the following ratio peculiar to the cubic liquid crystal belonging to the crystallographic space group Pn3m: √{square root over (2)}: √{square root over (3)}: √{square root over (4)}: √{square root over (6)}: √{square root over (8)}: √{square root over (9)}.
