5-Methyl-12-phenylsulfonyl-12H-naphtho[1,2-b]carbazole

Abstract

In the title compound, C27H19NO2S, the naphthocarbazole unit is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å) except for the N atom, which is displaced by 0.122 (1) Å out of the mean plane. The dihedral angle between the naphthocarbazole mean plane and the phenyl ring of the phenylsulfonyl substituent is 83.16 (3)°. An intermolecular C—H...π interaction involving the phenyl group and the pyrrole ring is observed in the crystal structure.
