<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stimulus-responsive compound that can undergo deformation (displacement) at low voltage and an actuator using the stimulus-responsive compound, and to provide a method of producing the stimulus-responsive compound. <P>SOLUTION: The stimulus-responsive compound includes a pair of alkyl chains; a crosslinking portion that crosslinks the pair of alkyl chains; and a liquid-crystalline functional group attached to at least one of the alkyl chains. The crosslinking portion includes: a unit A that has a bond served as a rotational axis, a first group positioned at one end of the bond, and a second group positioned at the other end of the bond; a first unit B disposed at a first bonding site of the first group; and a second unit B disposed at a first bonding site of the second group. The crosslinking portion is attached to one of the alkyl chain at a second bonding site of the first group, and to the other alkyl chain at a second bonding site of the second group. The first unit B and the second unit B can bond by oxidation-reduction reaction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
