The Cover Feature illustrates competing deactivation photophysical routes in the parent BODIPY molecule: Internal conversion, intersystem crossing and fluorescence. Rational functionalization can quench radiative and non‐radiative decay to the ground state while increasing population transfer to the triplet states. This study maps the landscape of the excited‐state potential energy surfaces of this system as a basis for the design of improved photosensitizers. More information can be found in the Article by M. De Vetta et al. on page 727 in Issue 9, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cptc.201800169).
