Dielectric measurements in the kHz‐range on (S)‐2‐(4‐n‐octyloxyphenyl)‐5‐[4‐(4‐methyl‐2‐chloropentanoyloxy)‐phenyl]‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole have been carried out in the smectic C* phase. A very intensive Goldstone mode (Δϵ = 3000, ƒ R = 20–80 Hz) was found between 330 and 380 K. The expected unwinding of the helix with different dc bias fields could not be detected due to the increasing conductivity of the sample.
