Notes:
Molecules of the title compound, C16H14O, are chiral and crystallize in space group P\overline 4 with Z′ = 2, and with one R and one S molecule in the asymmetric unit. The conformations of the phenyl rings in the two independent molecules differ slightly. Supramolecular organization in the crystal is via tetrameric O—H...H(O) hydrogen-bonded synthons formed separately by each conformer. These tetrameric synthons stack along the c axis via C[triple-bond]C—H...O(H) hydrogen bonds. The only link between the conformer stacks is provided by weaker Cmethylene—H and Cphenyl—H interactions with πarene density.
