Three one-dimensional zinc phosphates, [C5N2H14][Zn(HPO4)(2)], I, [C10N4H26
][Zn(HPO4)(2)].2H(2)O II, and [C4N2H6](2)[Zn(HPO4)], m, have been prepared
employing hydro/solvothermal methods in the presence of organic amines. Whi
le I and II consist of Linear chains of corner-shared four-membered rings,
III is a polymeric wire where the amine molecule is directly bonded to the
metal center. The wire, as well as the chain in these structures, are held
together by hydrogen bond interactions involving the amine and the framewor
k oxygens. The polymeric zinc phosphate with wire-like architecture, m, is
only the second example of such architecture. Crystal data: I, monoclinic,
