Synthetic flavylium compounds can exist in several forms (multistate) that can be interconverted by more than one type of external stimulus (multifunctional). The intricate network of their reactions, when examined from the view point of ‘molecular-level devices’, reveals very interesting properties.

Photochromic flavylium compounds are complex, multifunctional molecular-level systems that can be used as molecular-level devices for various applications.
