K. Sethusankar et al., Crystal structure analysis of trans 1-(n-phenyl sulfonyl indole-2 ' yl)-2-(3 ' 4 '-dimethoxy 6 '-nitrophenyl) ethene, CRYST RES T, 36(11), 2001, pp. 1303-1309
The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P
2(1)/c The cell parameters are a = 8.3558 (2), b = 11.3659(2), c = 23.9039(
3) Angstrom, V = 2265.6(7) Angstrom (3), alpha = gamma = 90.0 degrees and b
eta = 93.64(1)degrees. The structure has an indole moiety, phenylsulfonyl a
nd dimethoxy nitrophenyl groups. The phenylsulfonyl group is attached to th
e indole nitrogen and the dimethoxy nitrophenyl group is attached to the ol
efinic carbon. The crystal packing is stabilised by van der Waals interacti
ons.
