The cation binding affinities of imidazole possessing 1,10‐phenathroline ( 1) displayed remarkable variations on complexation with Ru(bipy) 2 2+ ( 2 ). Both 1 and 2 displayed remarkable fluorescence in DMSO solution. The fluorescence emission intensity of 1 was quenched with several metal ions (Cu 2+ , Hg 2+ , Zn 2+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ ). The phenanthroline N's owing to their excellent cation binding affinity would be responsible for this, but the 1:2 stoichiometry as revealed by job's plot pointed towards the participation of imidazole N and O atom of methoxy group of 1 . Engaging the phenanthroline N's in metal binding was a step towards selectivity as 2 exhibited quenching with Cu 2+ and Hg 2+ ions only. 1:1 job's plot analysis for 2 once again ascertained the active involvement of imidazole N and O atom of methoxy group in cation sensing process.
