Abstract: The title compound, C₄₂H₃₀N₂O₄S₄, crystallizes in the space group P with half a molecule in the asymmetric unit and the other half generated by an inversion centre. The indole moiety is planar within 0.043 (1) Å. The dihedral angle between the indole system and the thiophenyl ring is 83.4 (1)°. The S atom of the sulfonyl substituent has a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The molecular structure is stabilized by C-HO and C-HS interactions and the packing of the molecules in the solid state is stabilized by C-HO, C-H and - intermolecular interactions.
