Dithiolato‐protected copper hydride nanoclusters that evolve hydrogen under sunlight irradiation were prepared. As C. W. Liu and co‐workers describe in their Communication on page 7214 ff., these nanoclusters were structurally characterized by various spectroscopic methods, including single‐crystal neutron diffraction. The onion‐like structure displays a geometric entity that is reminiscent of a Chinese puzzle ball.
