New segmented multicascade devices were created by linking polyaromatic residues with different optical properties to the boron centre of a highly luminescent boradiazaindacene dye. The picture shows a powerful stream of water and such a boron‐substituted dye in which all the absorbed photons are channeled to the bottom of the molecule, which is the only fluorescent species.
