Abstract— To obtain information on the ecotoxicological properties of liquid‐crystal (LC) compounds, the aquatic toxicity of selected LCs was investigated. Therefore, ten single LCs and one LC mixture were tested for their toxicity to the two standard organisms, daphnia (immobilization) and algae (growth inhibition). Water solubilities and detection limits were determined in the test media. Up to the limit of water solubility, the LCs as well as the LC mixture did not cause any adverse effects to the tested organisms.
