Abstract Liquid crystalline polymers with axial chirality are prepared. These polymers are chiral, not due to a single asymmetric carbon atom, but due to a larger molecular fragment, which is chiral as a whole. They exhibit cholesteric and chiral smectic C* phases. Dielectric spectroscopy proves strong ferroelectric properties in the chiral smectic C* phases of these polymers.
