Abstract
An applications of the molecular orbital (MO) calculation and Maeir-Meier theory to liquid crystal compounds are investigated for estimating dielectric anisotropy (δϵ). The method involves calculating the parameters on MO calculation and substituting these values into Maeir-Meier theory. These calculations are repeated until the calculated δϵ saturates. The estimated δϵ agree closely with those obtained experimentally for liquid crystal compounds with various skeletons and polarized groups.Keywords
