We report for the first time the formation of a new phase in a supercooled liquid molecular compound 2-biphenylmethanol by differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction measurements. It is found that at a crossover temperature Tc∼1.2 Tg within a supercooled liquid metastable clusters (nuclei) start to appear where molecules are arranged in a different way than the stable phase. The development of the metastable nuclei into clusters of macroscopic size occurs at room temperature. Full crystallization into the new metastable phase happens after annealing for 10 min at the temperature of crystallization, 308 K. The structure of the new phase, as deduced from x-ray experiments, consists of hydrogen-bonded chains of molecules, contrary to the structure of the stable phase in which the molecules are joined into cyclic tetramers.
