In the title compound, C18H12O2, the benzene rings are inclined to one another by 66.79 (7)°. The five-membered ring is almost planar with a maximum deviation of 0.014 (1) Å. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by pairs of weak C—HO interactions into centrosymmetric dimers. These dimers are linked by C—Hπ interactions, forming a three-dimensional structure.
