title: 2-[2-(Hydroxy-meth-yl)phen-yl]-1-phenyl-ethanol.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(16)O(2), has a dihedral angle of 19.10 (5)° between the mean planes of the two benzene rings. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond and the C-C-C-C torsion angle across the bridge between the two rings is 173.13 (14)°. The mol-ecules form inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded chains extending along the a axis. C-H⋯π contacts are also observed between mol-ecules within the chains.
