Polyoxometalates have well-defined structures and remarkable properties with great potentials to meet contemporary material demands in the field of catalysis

electrooptical devices

and pharmaceuticals. The polyoxometalate/ polymer supramolecular hybrid materials not only combine unique properties and functionalities of polyoxometalates with favorable stability and processability of polymers

but also have flexible functional regulation. Suprmolecular strategies including electrostatic interaction

hydrogen bonding

and covalent bonding are widely applied to incorporate polyoxometalates into organic polymer matrices. In this article we provide an overview of lastest progress of the fabrication strategies

self-assembling behavior

and functional regulation of these supramolecular hybrid materials.
