Herein, we report a ternary gold superclusters (AuSCs) architecture, AuSCs@SiW\n                    <jats:sub>9<\/jats:sub>\n                    @PDA, that overcomes these limitations through cooperative regulation of excited\u2010state electron dynamics. The composite is constructed via depletion\u2010driven assembly of glutathione\u2010protected AuNCs with a Keggin\u2010type polyoxometalate, (Na\n                    <jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>\n                    SiW\n                    <jats:sub>9<\/jats:sub>\n                    O\n                    <jats:sub>34<\/jats:sub>\n                    or SiW\n                    <jats:sub>9<\/jats:sub>\n                    ), followed by encapsulation within a polydopamine (PDA) network. In this system, SiW\n                    <jats:sub>9<\/jats:sub>\n                    serves as an efficient electron sink, while PDA enhances solar light absorption, promotes interfacial charge transport, and suppresses recombination, collectively increasing the density of photogenerated electrons. As a result, AuSCs@SiW\n                    <jats:sub>9<\/jats:sub>\n                    @PDA enables efficient sunlight\u2010driven activation of the thermodynamically robust C\u2500Br bond in CBr\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    , affording (1,3,3,3\u2010tetrabromopropyl)benzene from terminal aryl alkenes in yields up to 90%. The activity markedly exceeds that of the corresponding binary analogues (AuSCs@SiW\n                    <jats:sub>9<\/jats:sub>\n                    and AuSCs@PDA) and their physical mixtures, highlighting the critical role of synergistic excited\u2010state electron\u2010transfer. Mechanistic investigations reveal accelerated electron transfer to CBr\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    and suppressed charge recombination as key factors governing C\u2500Br bond cleavage. Overall, this work establishes AuSCs as robust, sunlight\u2010driven photocatalysts and demonstrates excited\u2010state electron management as a strategy for sunlight\u2010driven bond activation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/smll.73713","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,8]],"date-time":"2026-05-08T13:43:06Z","timestamp":1778247786000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Synergistic Regulation of Excited\u2010State Electrons Enables Sunlight\u2010Driven C\u2500Br Bond Activation Through In Situ Polymerized Polyoxometalate\u2010Gold Nanocluster Assemblies"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9155-584X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Satya Ranjan","family":"Sahoo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Materials Chemistry &amp;
