A new cyclometalated ruthenium complex[Ru(L)(bpy)₂]⁺ (1) was synthesized by using 3-ethyl-1-(thiophen-2-yl)imidazolium (L) and 2, 2'-bipyridine (bpy), which has been characterized by NMR and HRMS. The interactions between complex 1 and common metal ions were investigated by UV-Vis absorption spectra. Only upon the addition of Hg²⁺, the absorption was blue-shifted from 548 to 448 nm companied with the solution color varying from red to yellow. By analyzing absorption and MS spectra, the mechanism of complex 1 sensing to Hg²⁺ could be attributed to the possible conversion of coordination mode from Ru—C to Ru—S resulting from the interaction between Hg²⁺ and S.
