TCI C0610 Cholesteryl Chloride is a cholesterol derivative in which the 3-hydroxy group is replaced by chlorine, preserving the rigid chiral steroid framework. It is studied primarily as a cholesteric liquid crystal material, where helical molecular ordering produces selective reflection and optical rotation. Researchers commonly combine it with cholesteryl esters to build thermochromic mixtures and to investigate phase-transition behaviour. Supplied as a 25 g solid, it should be kept tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light.
