Abstract

A series of new optically active γ-lactones were synthesized. The relationship between molecular structures and induced spontaneous polarization of optically active γ-lactones and δ-lactones has been investigated. The molecular shapes of chiral dopants, especially the alkyl chains extending from a lactone ring, were found to play important roles in the generation of spontaneous polarization.
