Four dichiral liquid crystals with one perfluoroalkyl chain and two lactate groups were synthesized. They all exhibit an enantiotropic SmA phase. An enantiotropic SmC d * phase was identified in a pair of enantiomers. Their optical activity was mainly controlled by the chirality of the lactate residue near mesogenic core. These liquid crystals could self-assemble into twisted nanoribbons or helical nanofibers. The stacking handedness of mesogenic cores and the handedness of nanoribbons/nanofibers were also dominated by the chirality of lactate group near mesogenic core. This “core determination” phenomenon was proposed to originate from the π–π stacking among mesogenic cores.
