title: (E)-1,1,4,4-Tetra-phenyl-but-2-yne-1,4-diol.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(28)H(22)O(2), is centrosymmetric with the inversion centre located at the mid-point of the C C bond [1.178 (5) Å]. The hydroxyl groups therefore lie on either side of the mol-ecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of a linear supra-molecular chain along the b axis.
