Just wondering whether anyone knows of any substances which share the property of water of having the solid phase being less dense than the liquid.

Just offhand, I think the only other such substance may be hydrogen peroxide. Also, the expansion of ice on freezing does not apply when it is under
high pressure; there are about 12 different phases of ice which occur under conditions of varying temperature and pressure.

Bismuth, Antimony, Gallium, and Germanium all expand.
