Aza‐BODIPY systems possess strong red absorption, exhibit high triplet excited states, and singlet‐oxygen generation yields. The aza‐BODIPY systems synthesized by D. Ramaiah et al. and reported in their Full Paper on page 12655 ff. are stable under irradiation conditions, act as green catalysts for photooxygenation reactions, and are efficient sensitizers for photodynamic therapy.
