Novel ionic liquid crystals consisting of polyammonium and carboxylate ions were synthesized by ion complexation of polyethyleneimine and carboxylic acids (α,ω-dicarboxylic acids and hydroxyalkanoic acid). Their thermal properties and orientational behavior were examined by polarizing microscopic observation, differential scanning calorimetry, and variable temperature X-ray diffraction measurements. The ionic liquid crystals exhibited thermotropic liquid crystalline phases. The ionic liquid crystals (BP/ndA) bearing counter dicarboxylate ions formed a cubic phase upon heating and cooling. On the other hand, the ionic liquid crystal bearing the counter hydroxyalkanoate ion exhibited enantiotropic smectic A and smectic B phases with focal conic fan textures. These ionic liquid crystalline phases were formed by ionic and hydrophobic interactions because they did not have an aromatic mesogenic group.
