A new tantalum phosphate, tridecasodium distrontium ditantalum nonaphosphate, Na
Sr
Ta
(PO
)
, was prepared using the high-temperature flux method. The structure can be described as a three-dimensional open framework containing isolated [Ta
(PO
)
]
units that are interlocked by Na and Sr ions. Band structure studies by the first-principles method revealed that Na
Sr
Ta
(PO
)
is an insulator with an indirect band gap of 4.78 eV, which makes it suitable as a luminescent host matrix. A series of solid solutions, i.e. Na
Sr
Ta
(PO
)
:xDy
(x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1, 0.12 and 0.14), were prepared and their photoluminescence properties studied. Under 350 nm light excitation, these emit two typical emissions of the Dy
ion, i.e. the
F
→
H
transition centred at 476 nm and the
F
→
H
transition centred at 570 nm.
