Abstract
New liquid crystal materials with a terminal alkyl sulfonic acid group were synthesized. The mesomorphic behavior of these compounds was evaluated. These compounds generate the SmA phase, and in the SmA phase, the molecules seem to be able to transport protons. At the temperature of the smectic phase, the proton current increased sharply. The proton transport ability increases about 700 times by forming a smectic molecular order.
