The generation of “dark” singlet oxygen from hydrogen peroxide can be achieved not only with a tamed dragon as shown on the picture, but also by using simple flow chemistry. Oxygen in its singlet state is highly reactive and reacts like a fire with various substrates under non‐photochemical reaction conditions. For more information, see the Communication by R. K. Allemann, T. Wirth et al. on page 12486 ff.
