The coordination of organic semiconductors with metal cations can induce metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer, which broadens light absorption to cover the visible–near‐infrared (vis–NIR) spectrum. As a proof‐of‐concept demonstration, the g‐C 3 N 4 ‐based complex exhibits dramatically enhanced photocatalytic H 2 production with excellent durability under vis–NIR irradiation.
