When water is held in a porous material and cooled below its freezing point the typical molecular interactions leading to crystallisation can be inhibited leading to a supercooled liquid state. Here, the authors use dielectric spectroscopy to analyse a metal organic framework with a symmetrical nanometer sized porous structure and reveal the temperature dependent processes and how they compare with those of bulk water.
