Abstract Alkali (R)- and (S)-mandelates can change the helical pitch of cholesteric liquid crystals containing steroidal crown ethers in an enantioselective manner. In certain cases the pitch difference between (R)- and (S)-mandelates can be detected visually as a color change in the liquid crystals.
