] We report a reversible liquid-solid transition upon ] heating of a simple solution composed of a-cyclodextrine ] (alpha-CD), water, and 4-methylpyridine. These solutions ] are homogeneous and transparent at ambient temperature ] and solidify when heated to temperatures between 45° and ] 75°. Quasielastic and elastic neutron scattering show ] that molecular motions are slowed down in the solid and ] that crystalline order is established. The solution ] "freezes on heating." This process is fully reversible, ] on cooling the solid melts. A rearrangement of hydrogen ] bonds is postulated to be responsible for the observed ] phenomenon. ...Dude.
