title: Crystal structure of 2,2'-({[2-(trityl-sulfan-yl)benz-yl]azane-diyl}bis-(ethane-2,1-di-yl))bis-(isoindoline-1,3-dione).
abstract: In the structure of the title compound, C46H37N3O4S, the planes of the two isoindoline units make a dihedral angle of 77.86 (3)°. The dihedral angles between the benzyl plane and the isoindoline units are 79.56 (4) and 3.74 (9)°. The geometry at the S atom shows a short [1.7748 (17) Å] S-Cbenz-yl and a long [1.8820 (15) Å] S-Ctrit-yl bond and the C-S-C angle is 108.40 (7)°. N-C bond lengths around the azane N atom are in the range 1.454 (2)-1.463 (2) Å. he crystal packing exhibts two rather 'non-classical' C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds that result in stacking of the molecules along the a as well as the b axis and give rise to columnar sub-structures.
