New clothes for an old player: Oxygen‐induced deactivation of a fluorescent state can, in fact, proceed via S 1 →S 0 internal conversion and effectively compete with S 1 →T 1 intersystem crossing (see figure). It has long been considered that only the latter process occurs. An O 2 ‐dependent process that does not produce a triplet excited state can have significant photochemical and photobiological consequences.
