Few compounds feature ice-shaping properties. The only compound reported tohave ice-shaping properties similar to that of ice-shaping proteins,encountered in many organisms living at low temperature, is Zirconium Acetate.When a Zirconium Acetate solution is frozen, oriented and perfectly hexagonalice crystals can be formed and their growth follows the temperature gradient.To shed light on the water/ice phase transition while freezing ZirconiumAcetate solution we carried out differential scanning calorimetry measurements.From our results, we estimate how many water molecules do not freeze because oftheir interaction with Zr cations. We estimate the colligative properties ofthe Zr concentration on the apparent critical temperature. We further show thephase transition is unaffected by the nature of the base which is used toadjust the pH. Our results provide thus new hints on the ice-shaping mechanismof Zirconium Acetate.
