Polycrystalline samples of CuTa₂O₆ prepared by low-temperature decomposition of Cu-Ta-oxalate precursors at room temperature crystallize with a monoclinically distorted trirutile structure type. By detailed high temperature x-ray and neutron powder diffraction studies we detected a structural phase transition to the tetragonal trirutile structure-type at 503(3) K. The structural phase transition was ascertained by Raman scattering. GGA+U DFT calculations of the spin exchange parameters, magnetic susceptibility and isothermal magnetization measurements constitute CuTa₂O₆ as new 1D Heisenberg chain with predominant afm nearest neighbor exchange interaction J_nn ≈ 50 K. Heat capacity and low temperature high intensity neutron powder diffraction studies could not find long range order down to 0.4K.
