Drastic changes in photophysics when exchanging the central transition metal template in Anderson‐type polyoxometalate hydrogen evolution catalysts are reported in this work. The catalyst is part of a covalent photosensitizer–catalyst dyad and—dependent on the central metal ion—shows significant changes of the light‐driven hydrogen evolution activity. In‐depth photophysical studies now provide detailed understanding of this diverging reactivity. More information can be found in the Full Paper by B. Dietzek et al. on page 8045.
