The synthesis and the mesomorphic properties of novel imidazolium salts with mesogenic 2-phenylpyrimidine or 2-alkylpyrimidinecarboxylic acid central cores are reported. The mesogenic units are connected to the imidazolium head groups via an alkoxy spacer

An optically active compound represented by formula (I): wherein A represents wherein R2 represents an alkyl group having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms; R1 represents a straight chain alkyl group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms; X represents a fluorine atom or a methyl group; n represents 1 or 2; m represents an integer of from 0 to 3; and C* represents an asymmetric carbon atom, and a liquid crystal composition containing the same are disclosed. The compound exhibits large spontaneous polarization and low viscosity and, when added to an achiral base liquid crystal composition, induces a chiral nematic phase in which the helical pitch has small temperature dependence.
