Abstract
The compounds 3-(1-Benzenesulfonyl-3-phenylsulfanyl-1H-indol-2-yl)-1-[4-methyl (I)/methoxy (II)phenyl)]-2-phenyl-propane-1-one crystallize in triclinic space group P$$\bar 1$$. The details are: compound Ia = 11.941(6) Å, b = 12.154(7) Å, c = 13.006(7) Å, α = 63.124(8)°, β = 84.464(9)°, γ = 64.810(8)°, V = 1519.7(14) Å3, Z = 2, Dcal = 1.284 Mg m−3, and R = 0.0382 (wR = 0.0978); compound IIa = 11.897(6) Å, b = 12.268(6) Å, c = 13.001(7) Å, α = 61.919(8)°, β = 83.480(8)°, γ = 64.676(7)°, V = 1504.0(14) Å3, Z = 2, Dcal = 1.333 Mg m−3, and R = 0.0422 (wR = 0.1049). The indole ring system in both the molecules I and II are not strictly planar and the dihedral angles formed by the pyrrole and benzo planes are 4.0(7)° and 3.5(8)°, respectively. The C–H$$\cdots $$O, C–H$$\cdots $$π and π$$\cdots $$π types of interactions stabilize the molecules in the unit cell in addition to van der Waal's forces in I and II.
