Abstract

A new 3D tubular zinc phosphite, Zn₂ (C₂₂ H₂₂ N₈ )_0.5 (HPO₃ )₂ ⋅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.

Keywords: luminescence; organic-inorganic hybrid composites; phosphites; tetradentate ligand; zinc.
