(2E)-3-(2-Anthracen-2-yl)-1-(2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(23)H(16)O(2), contains two independent mol-ecules in which the dihedral angles between the anthracene ring system and the benzene ring are 73.0 (3) and 73.3 (3)°. In both independent mol-ecules, the hy-droxy group is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The crystal packing is stabilized by π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6518 (9), 3.7070 (9) and 3.7632 (9) Å] and weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
