n-Heptane/urea is an aperiodic inclusion compound in which the ratio of host and guest repeats along the channel axis is very close to unity and is found to have a constant value (0.981) from 280 K to 90 K. Below 280 K, two phase transitions are observed. The first (T{sub c1} = 145 K) is a ferroelastic phase transition that generates superstructure reflections for the host while leaving the guest with 1D order. The second (T{sub c2} = 130 K) is a 'phase ordering' transition to a four-dimensional structure (P2{sub 1}11(0{beta}{gamma})) with pronounced host-guest intermodulation and a temperature dependent phase shift between guests in adjacent channels.
