Abstrakt: The crystal structures of the title compounds, C19H19NO and C31H34N2O, were determined as part of an experiment in an undergraduate teaching laboratory that demonstrates the relationship between mol­ecular structure and function. 1 ′,3′,3′-Tri­methyl­spiro­[chromene-2,2′-indoline] is both a photoswitch and thermochromic mol­ecule. Students synthesized it and a bis-indoline adduct and compared the crystallographically determined structures to computed gas-phase models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
