Synergistic Regulation of Excited‐State Electrons Enables Sunlight‐Driven C─Br Bond Activation Through In Situ Polymerized Polyoxometalate‐Gold Nanocluster Assemblies
and suppressed charge recombination as key factors governing C─Br bond cleavage. Overall, this work establishes AuSCs as robust, sunlight-driven photocatalysts and demonstrates excited-state electron management as a strategy for sunlight-driven bond activation.
