2O (M
II = Mn,Co, Ni) (denoted as MBPO-CJ25) have been synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions. Single-crystal X-raydiffraction analyses reveal that the three compounds possess isostructural three-dimensional (3D) open frameworkswith one-dimensional 12-ring channels along the [001] direction. Notably, the structure can also be viewed ascomposed of metal phosphate layers [M
