Abstract:
In a Correspondence on our previous work, "Visible light-switchable chalcone flavylium photochromic systems in aqueous media" published in this journal in 2023, Pina et al. comment on certain aspects of our work, raising skepticism and questions about the switching of the chalcone-flavylium systems. We appreciate their comments and acknowledge the remarkable contribution of Pina and co-workers in this field. In this Reply, additional data, control experiments, clarifications, and discussions are presented to justify our statements.
