The homogeneous systems [ n Bu 4 N] 4 [W 10 O 32 ]/strong acid/acetonitrile/alkane is the first polymetallate system which makes possible a photo‐redox chemistry—transformation of light into chemical energy—with high quantum yields. Alkanes are selectively photo‐dehydrogenated by this system using UV light of low energy (λ > 360 nm); reaction 1 → 2 is typical.
