1-Phenylsulfonyl-2-methyl-3-cyanoindole crystallizes in triclinic space group P1 with cell parameters a = 9.878(4), b = 11.789(4), c = 13.148(4)Å, α = 102.23(2)°, β = 100.51(3)°, γ = 109.47(3)°, V = 1356.5(7)Å3, Z = 4 and Dcal = 1.451 Mg/m3. A final R-value of 0.0891 was obtained for 3659 observed reflections. The indole moieties and the benzene rings are planar. The cyano groups in both molecules are linear. The C-H…N inter and C-H…O types of intra and intermolecular hydrogen bondings stabilize the molecules in the unit cell. C-H…π and π…π weak interactions are also useful in crystal packing in addition to van der Waals forces.
