15. The structure configurations of the colored metastable species include trans and cis forms. Both the trans form and the cis form include quinoid, zwitterion, and a hybrid structure between the quioid and zwitterion forms. In the present work, we do not separate them in detail, we only consider them to be in two forms, the trans-form and the cis-form.
