title: (E)-3-[4-(Di-fluoro-meth-oxy)-3-hy-droxy-phen-yl]-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C16H12F2O3, the plane of the phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 3.22 (8)° with that of the benzene ring. The mol-ecule has an E conformation about the C=C bond. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers which are further consolidated by a pair of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The dimers are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming columns along the b-axis direction.
