(a) Fragment of the structure of III, showing mutual CH⋯π bonding of the inversion-related indole fragments and how CH⋯O and CH⋯Br bonds contribute to the stabilization of the supramolecular column. (b) Projection of the structure on the ac-plane. Note the extensive π–π interactions of the phenyl rings yielding four-decker sandwiches. The indole columns are orthogonal to the drawing plane.
