A homogenous dinuclear Os(II) complex bisOs was synthesized and fully characterized. The electrochemical cyclic voltammetry study, and density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent DFT (TD‐DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the electronic property. bisOs showed an obvious interaction with lipase and BSA, and can generate singlet oxygen under blue and red LED light irradiation, with a singlet oxygen quantum yield (ФΔ) of 0.36 in comparison to that of Ru(bpy)3Cl2 in acetonitrile. bisOs exhibited moderate to great photocytotoxicity against HGC‐27 human gastric cancer cells under blue LED light irradiation, giving the IC50 value as low as 1.83 µM (PI value is 9.7), while was almost non‐cytotoxic in the dark. The cellular singlet oxygen detection in HGC‐27 cancer cells exhibited a concentration‐dependent manner, and cell uptake of bisOs in A549 cells was as high as 120 ng/106 cells, subcellular colocalization study indicated that bisOs was not accumulated in nucleus, and less likely to target mitochondria. This work provides a new example of dinuclear osmium complex as potential photosensitizer candidate for gastric treatment.
