An oxalate-assisted strategy was first developed for creating new polyoxotantalates (POTas). With this strategy, two brand-new POTa supramolecular frameworks based on uncommon dimeric POTa secondary building units (SBUs) were constructed and characterized. Interestingly, the oxalate ligand can not only serve as a coordination ligand to form unique POTa SBUs but also act as a key hydrogen bond acceptor to construct supramolecular architectures. Besides, the architectures show outstanding proton conductivity. The strategy opens up new opportunities for developing new POTa materials.
