Popis: In-depth insights into the structure-activity relationships and complex reaction mechanisms of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts are indispensable to efficiently generate clean hydrogen through water electrolysis. We introduce a convenient and effective sulfur heteroatom tuning strategy to optimize the performance of active Ni and Fe centers embedded into coordination polymer (CP) catalysts. Operando monitoring then provided the mechanistic understanding as to how exactly our facile sulfur engineering of Ni/Fe-CPs optimizes the local electronic structure of their active centers to facilitate dioxygen formation. The high OER activity of our optimized S-R-NiFe-CPs outperforms the most recent NiFe-based OER electrocatalysts. Specifically, we start from oxygen-deprived O
