Figure 4

HOMO electronic cloud of (A) cis-spirooxindole 2 and (B) cis-spirothiooxindole 4. The diffusive electronic cloud around the sulfur atom in thiooxindole makes the cis isomer to be more stable than the trans isomer. DFT calculations were performed using B3LYP/6-31 + G(d) in the gas phase. The figure was drawn using GaussView version 6.1.1 (https://gaussian.com/gaussview6)40.
