Heat capacities of mass selected deprotonated water clusters (H(2)O)(n-1)OH(-) have been measured in the size range n = 48-118, as a function of temperature. We have found that they undergo a melting-like transition in the range 110-130 K. The transition temperature is size dependent with a strong correlation with the dissociation energy around the shell closure at n = 55.
