A set of Ru II complexes incorporating triazole subunits are presented. They show a solvent‐dependent light‐switch effect. Theoretical calculations revealed the excited states involved in the emission process. The findings are highly important for future design of light‐switch sensors and suggest a severe restriction for functional photomolecular devices synthesized by CLICK chemistry.
