title: Crystal structure of 2-[2-phenyl-1-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)eth-yl]-1-phenyl-sulfonyl-1H-indole.
abstract: In the title compound, C28H23NO4S2, the indole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å) subtends dihedral angles of 78.69 (13) and 38.97 (13)° with the planes of the N- and C-bonded sulfonyl-benzene rings, respectively, and these two benzene rings are inclined to each other at an angle of 65.45 (16)°. The methyl-ene-linked phenyl ring is twisted at an angle of 81.80 (13)° from the indole ring. The mol-ecular structure features two short intra-molecular C-H⋯O contacts, which both generate S(6) rings. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions, generating a three-dimensional network.
