A phototriggered Cd 2+ release complex has been prepared by using benzothiazoline as a ligand. With visible‐light ( λ ≥ 400 nm) irradiation, bound Cd 2+ can be released from the complex, and the ligand is converted into a benzothiazole derivative. Accompanying the process of photoconversion, turn‐on fluorescence is observed. The fluorescence intensity increases with photoconversion until Cd 2+ is completely released, which provides a convenient method to monitor the phototriggered Cd 2+ release process.
