Abstract
A liquid crystalline sulfur compound exhibiting high anisotropic factor of dipolemoment is provided. A terphenyl skeleton sulfur compound expressed by the general formula (I) is provided. A compound is preferred wherein, in the general formula (I), m is 1, n is 5 to 18, and R3 is an alkyl group wherein the number of carbon atoms is n or fewer than n. A method of synthesisng the terphenyl skeleton sulfur compound wherein, after implementing the synthesizing processes for a methoxy terphenyl derivative, a hydroxy terphenyl derivative, and terphenyl alkyloxy bromide derivative, that bromide derivative and thiourea are caused to react, etc. A self-assembled monolayer made using the terphenyl skeleton sulfur compound noted above is also provided.
