The heavy‐atom effect cannot explain the difference in the third‐order nonlinear optical properties of the clusters [Ag 10 (dcapp) 4 ](OH) 2 ⋅12 H 2 O ( 1 , see structure), [Zn 4 O(dcapp) 3 ]⋅6 H 2 O ( 2 ), and [Hg 2 (dcapp) 2 ] ( 3 ) (H 2 dcapp=2,6‐dicarboxamido‐2‐pyridylpyridine). Quantum chemical calculations show that the NLO properties of 1 are controlled both by the metal and the ligand, while those of 2 and 3 are controlled by the ligand only.
