• K3PMo12O40 square nH(2)O
• Polyoxometalate
• Self-assembly mechanisms
• Monodisperse

Synthesis is the base of experimental chemistry. Herein, monodisperse K3PMo12O40 square nH(2)O polyoxometalates (POMs) with different morphologies have been reached by tuning synthetic conditions of the K/POM ratio, stirring speed and time, and reaction temperatures. Among these factors, the K/POM ratio is identified most critical in morphological controls of the K3PMo12O40 square nH(2)O particles, altering them from cubes to spheres. Additionally, morphological transformations were identified through a selfassembly and Ostwald ripening process, setting a generic synthetic strategy for the POM systems. Such synthetic strategies have substantial applications in catalytic or surface-demanding fields requiring POM materials with controlled morphology.
