Combining polymeric architectures with metal ions produces hybrid materials with extremely rich properties. We have been studying polymers containing terpyridine in the side chain. This report discusses a novel white‐light emission from a two‐emitter system comprising a blue‐emitting dysprosium‐chelated polymer and a red‐emitting ruthenium complex. The polymer architecture easily allows the incorporate of blue color into the material and provides a matrix which leads to the facile production of truly white light.
