A novel phosphorus–nitrogen thermotropic liquid crystalline poly(ester‐imide) (PN‐TLCP) derived from p ‐acetoxybenzoic acid (ABA), terephthalic acid (TPA), acetylated 2‐(6‐oxide‐6H‐dibenz<1,2>oxa phosphorin‐ 6‐yl)‐1,4‐dihydroxy phenylene (DOPO‐AHQ) and N , N '‐hexane‐1,6‐diylbis(trimellitimide) was prepared by melt transesterification. The chemical structure, the mesophase behavior, and the thermal properties of the copolymer were investigated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR), elemental analysis, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), hot‐stage polarized light microscopy (PLM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). PN‐TLCP exhibited a nematic mesophase with a strong birefringence at a low and broad mesomorphic temperature ranging from 220 to 350°C, an initial flow temperature as low as about 190°C and a glass transition temperature of about 160°C. PN‐TLCP has also good thermal stability, high char residues and excellent flame retardancy (limiting oxygen index, LOI = 71 and UL‐94 V‐0 rating). Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
