Summary of main observation and conclusionThe electron‐donating unit 2,3,4,6‐tetrahydro‐1,6‐dithia‐3a‐azaphenalene (THDTAP) was introduced onto terpyridine (TPy) to give a donor‐acceptor (D‐A) type TPy‐ligand (compound2). Upon selective oxidation of two sulfur atoms on the THDTAP moiety of2, the ligands3—6were created. The electronic structures of2—6were evaluated by theoretical, electrochemical, and spectroscopic investigations. The oxidation on the sulfur atoms brings significant influence on the electron‐donating ability of THDTAP moiety, subsequently, leads to fine modulations on intramolecular charge‐transfer (ICT) of2—6and the electronically excited states of the complexes of2—6with metal ions. Based on the optical response of2—6toward metal ions, the step‐by‐step recognition of Zn2+, Cd2+, and Ag+ions is set up by employing2and3as combined fluorescence sensors.
