2-(4-Chloro-2-nitro­phen­yl)-4-meth­oxy-9-phenyl­sulfonyl-9H-carbazole-3-carbaldehyde

In the sterically hindered title compound, C(26)H(17)ClN(2)O(6)S, the carbazole ring has a maximum deviation from planarity of 0.067 (4) Å for the C atom connected to the aldehyde group. The carbazole moiety forms a dihedral angle of 72.8 (1)° with the nitro-substituted benzene ring. The O atom of the meth­oxy group deviates by 0.186 (1) Å from the adjacent carbazole moiety. The phenyl­sulfonyl group forms intra­molecular C—H⋯O bonds between sulfone O atoms and the carbazole moiety, resulting in two S(6) rings. In the crystal, the nitrated benzene rings are linked via C—H⋯O inter­actions forming infinite C(7) chains along [100]. The crystal packing is also characterized by C—H⋯π inter­actions, which result in inversion dimers.
