ABSTRACT
A new 3D tubular zinc phosphite, Zn2 (C22 H22 N8 )0.5 (HPO3 )2 â H2 O (1), incorporating a tetradentate organic ligand was synthesized under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is the first example of inorganic zincophosphite chains being interlinked through 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene to form a tubular porous framework with unusual organic-inorganic hybrid channels. The thermal and chemical stabilities, high capacity for CO2 adsorption compared to that for N2 adsorption, and interesting optical properties of LED devices fabricated using this compound were also studied.
