The title molecule, C31H27NO5S2, consists of an indole ring with pheny
lthio, phenylsulfonyl and 3,4,5-methoxyphenyl groups as exocyclic subs
tituents. All the ring systems are planar. The indole ring is slightly
folded along the C(8)-(9) bond. Two of the three methoxy groups on th
e 2-(3,4,5-methoxyphenyl) vinyl substituent are slightly twisted from
the molecular plane by 2.5 (9) and 13.9 (9)degrees, respectively, whil
e the third occupies an equatorial position [79.3 (7)degrees]. Crystal
cohesion is based on numerous van der Waals interactions.
