Dimethyl 3,3'-(phenyl-methyl-ene)bis-(1H-indole-2-carboxyl-ate).

In the title compound, C27H22N2O4, the two indole ring systems are approximately perpendicular to each other, with a dihedral angle of 84.5 (5)° between their planes; the benzene ring is twisted with respect to the two indole ring systems at angles of 78.5 (5) and 86.5 (3)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, and C-H⋯π inter-actions into a three-dimensional supra-molecular architecture.
