In the title compound, C29H24O, the phenyl and methylphenyl rings are approximately perpendicular to each other, making a dihedral angle of 87.67 (10)°, and are oriented at dihedral angles of 62.49 (9) and 84.77 (7)°, respectively, to the nearly planar fluorene ring system [maximum deviation = 0.077 (2) Å] In the crystal, weak C—Hπ interactions are observed.
