Finding the missing species: Two isopolyoxotungstate clusters with unprecedented “S”-shaped [H4W22O74]12− and “§”-shaped [H10W34O116]18− geometries are presented. The development of this structural complexity comes from the structural evolution based on the {W11} fragment and establishes a new building block principle in isopolyoxotungstate chemistry. The evolved clusters can only be isolated in the presence of sulfite ions.
