Solidifying upon heating is not a property of any particular compound, but rather of a class of unstable materials called "supercooled" liquids. If a liquid is cooled below its freezing point, with care to avoid agitation and/or the presence of any crystal nuclei, the liquid can remain in the liquid state for some time and as much as several degrees below its equilibrium freezing temperature. Slight heating, because of the convective agitation that the heating induces within the liquid, can then cause the liquid to freeze.
