The second-order memory function (SOMF) for the dicyclohexylmetyl-2metyl succinate is obtained by using simple numerical manipulation of the experimental dielectric data. According to the prescription given in a previous paper [J. Chem. Phys. 109, 9057 (1998)], the frequency behavior of the real and imaginary parts of the SOMF is discussed in terms of the Havriliak-Negami equation of the dielectric function, and together with the three-variable model describing the evolution of the torque-autocorrelation function. Furthermore, in this paper we present the temperature dependence of the parameters, which characterize the SOMF behavior for two ester substances.
