Abstract
Chirality of optically active liquid crystal molecules has become an important research topic and the subject of a number of theoretical and experimental studies. We present here the results of the application of a newly developed scaling method of a steric chiral index to chiral dopant molecules and to ferroelectric molecules. Good agreement is found between the scaled chiral index and the helical twisting power for a range of rigid chiral dopant molecules. Less good agreement is found in the case of rod-like flexible ferroelectric molecular structures and polarisation.
