The supramolecular dimerization of a ruthenium polypyridyl precursor of a well‐developed family of hydrogen‐evolving photocatalysts via π–π interactions of the polyheteroaromatic bridging ligand was quantified with concentration‐dependent 1H‐NMR spectroscopy. The data sets were analyzed with different calculation and fit methods. A comparison between the results of direct calculation and linear and nonlinear approaches showed that the application of a global nonlinear fit procedure yields the best results. The presented methods are also applicable for dimerization processes in the solution of other molecular moieties.
