Claim:
A left-handed-helix-inducing polymerizable chiral compound represented by the following formula (I): wherein X represents the following formula (X-i) or (X-ii): wherein * represents a bond; wherein Y1 to Y6 are each independently one selected from the group consisting of a chemical single bond, —O—, —S—, —O—C(═O)—, —C(═O)—O—, —O—C(═O)—O—, —NR 1 —C(═O)—, —C(═O)—NR 1 —, —O—C(═O)—NR 1 —, —NR 1 —C(═O)—O—, —NR 1 —C(═O)—NR 1 —, —O—NR 1 — and —NR 1 —O—, and R 1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; wherein Yx is one selected from the group consisting of a chemical single bond, —C(═O)—, —O—C(═O)—, —NR 2 —C(═O)—, —CH═CH—C(═O)—, —CH 2 —, —C 2 H 4 — and —CF 2 —, and R 2 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; wherein Yz is one selected from the group consisting of a chemical single bond, —C(═O)—, —C(═O)—O—, —C(═O)—NR 3 —, —C(═O)—CH═CH—, —CH 2 —, —C 2 H 4 — and —CF 2 —, and R 3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; wherein G1 and G2 are each independently a divalent aliphatic group which has 1 to 20 carbon atoms and which may have a substituent; the aliphatic group may contain one selected from the group consisting of —O—, —S—, —O—C(═O)—, —C(═O)—O—, —O—C(═O)—O—, —NR 4 —C(═O)—, —C(═O)—NR 4 —, —NR 4 — and —C(═O)—, except the case where two or more adjacent —O— and two or more adjacent —S— are contained in the aliphatic group; and R 4 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; wherein Z1 and Z2 are each independently an alkenyl group which has 2 to 10 carbon atoms and which may be substituted by a halogen atom; wherein Q1 to Q4 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group which has 1 to 6 carbon atoms and which may have a substituent; wherein A1 to A6 are each independently a divalent organic group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms; and wherein a and b are each independently 0 or 1.
