The liquid crystal transition temperatures of twelve 4-alkoxy-N-(2-phenanthrylmethylene)anilines are reported and compared with those of corresponding members of similar homologous series of azomethines. Differences in liquid crystal thermal stability between comparable azomethines in which the –CH![[double bond, length as m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif)
N– linkage is reversed are discussed.
