The crystal structures of the dispiro compounds 1, 3,4,8,10,2,8,9,.3]tetradeca-2,9-dien-6-one (3a) and 4,11-Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-13-methyl-1, 3,8,10-tetraphenyl-1,2,8,9,13-pentaazadispiro-[4.1.4.3]tetradeca-2,9-dien-6-one (3b) have been determined at room temperature from X-ray powder diffraction data using the method of simulated annealing as implemented in the programs DASH and TOPAS. Subsequent Rietveld refinements using the data collected to 1.5 Å resolution yielded R-Bragg values of 2.2 % for (3a) and 3.7 % for (3b). It was found, that both compounds crystallize in the monoclinc space group P2 1 /n with lattice parameters of a = 17.1656 (5)
