Abstract: 4,6‐ O ‐Ethylidene‐ N ‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐β‐D‐glucopyranosylamine (PL1) exhibits excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism, which has been established by experimental and theoretical calculations. Further, PL1 selectively interacts with Lu 3+ ion yielding a turn‐on response in methanol, where the emission intensity of the former enhances (~15 fold) after metal ion interaction. The complexation has been investigated using various analytical tools like UV‐visible absorption/emission, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and lifetime studies. The relative quantum yield of PL1 (0.0043) enhances to 0.1025 upon interaction with the Lu 3+ ion. The studies on stoichiometry by Job's plot, ESI mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations revealed the ligand‐to‐metal interaction in 2 : 1 ratio.
