The reversibility and first-order nature of liquid–liquid transition in a molecular liquid

The nature of the phenomenon of so-called ‘liquid-liquid transitions’ in molecular liquids is a long-standing debate. Here, the authors demonstrate the reversibility and first-order nature of the liquid-liquid transition in triphenyl phosphite via flash differential scanning calorimetry.
