PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a functional molecular apparatus such as a CMOS inverter or the like using a functional molecular device whose function is controlled by an electric field on the basis of a new principal. SOLUTION: A Lewis base molecule 14 having a positive dielectric constant anisotropy or a dipole moment in the direction of a long axis is arranged like a pendant by means of a metallic ion 3 functioning as Lewis acid against a linear or membranous standard molecule 2 having a conjugated system and exhibiting conductivity, and an electric field is applied to change conformation so that a functional molecular device 1 expressing a function. The conductive standard molecule 2 and the Lewis base molecule 14 form the metallic ion 3 and a complex 6. The Lewis base molecule 14 starts wobbling or acts like a seesaw when the electric field is applied, thereby switching the conductivity of the standard molecule 2. Such molecule tends to exhibit a reverse electric characteristic according to whether the electric field is applied, and as the result, a molecular device having a function equivalent to the CMOS is realized by using the same material.
