实验过程

1-O-(3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecanoyl)erythritol (hereafter 1-O-(phytanoyl)erythritol; formula (4) above) and pure water were mixed in accordance with the same procedure as in Example 3 to obtain the sample of 1-O-(phytanoyl)erythritol/water system. This sample of 1-O-(phytanoyl)erythritol/water system was subjected to the penetration experiment under a polarizing microscope, SAXS analysis, and dhc value determination based on the results of SAXS analysis in the same manner as in Example 3. As a result, bicontinuous type II Pn3m cubic liquid crystals or Ia3d cubic liquid crystals were found to be stably formed at least in a temperature range between 1° C. and 60° C. The lattice constants of the Pn3m cubic liquid crystals formed by 52.3% by mass of 1-O-(phytanoyl)erythritol were 11.4 nm (1° C.), 11.3 nm (25° C.), and 10.1 nm (45° C.).
