In (1'-benzoylferrocenyl)diphenylmethanol, [(PhCOC5H4)Fe(C5H4)]CPh2OH, (C30H24FeO2), there is an intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bond with OO 2.891 (2) Å: the ferrocenyl unit adopts an eclipsed conformation and the molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by C-HO hydrogen bonds with CO 3.357 (3) Å, to generate a cyclic R44(16) motif.
