For the first time, a new 3D tubular zinc phosphite incorporating the 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene organic ligand was synthesized under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The thermal and chemical stabilities, high capacity for CO
2 adsorption compared to that for N
2 adsorption, and interesting optical properties of LED devices fabricated by using this compound were also studied. More information can be found in the Full Paper by C.-M. Wang et al. on
