Abstract: With dimethylamine as a template, a new one-dimensional zincophosphite (C2H8N)·[Zn(HPO3)(H2PO3)] was prepared under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectrametry, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The compound crystallized in the Monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with cell parameters, a=0.78410(9) nm, b=1.54744(2) nm, c=0.81418(1) nm, β=105.8150(1)°, V=0.95049(2) nm3 and Z=4. The connectivity of the ZnO4 tetrahedron and HPO3 pseudo pyramid resulted in inifinite corner-sharing 4-membered ring chains, which were further linked by the protonated amine  molecules to form a 3D structure via hydrogen bonds. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first existence of a zincophosphite with the anionic framework composition of [Zn(HPO3)(H2PO3)]–. The compound exhibits intense photoluminescence at room temperature.
