are similar in the three compounds but the Cspiro--N bond distance in the spiropyran is longer than those in the spirooxazines. The spiropyran also has the strongest intramolecular short contacts compared with spirooxazines. These structural differences suggest that an unstable photoproduct is the reason why the spiropyran shows photochromism only at low temperatures.
