A lot of studies in relation to this compound have been carried out and the phase transition temperatures were reported to be 66-70 °C and 97-100°C for the melting and clearing points, respectively. The highest temperatures of the melting and clearing transitions have been reported in N. Boden, R. Borner, D. R. Brown, R. J. Bushby, J. Clements, Liq. Cryst. 1992, 11, 325.
