title: Crystal structure of 2-(11-oxo-10H,11H-indeno-[1,2-b]chromen-10-yl)-2,3-di-hydro-1H-indene-1,3-dione.
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, C25H14O4, the fused-ring system consisting of four rings is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle of 9.62 (5)° between the planes of the indene ring system and the benzene ring. The di-hydro-indene-1,3-dione unit makes a dihedral angle of 63.50 (2)° with the mean plane of the fused-ring system. A weak C-H⋯O inter-action organizes the mol-ecules into a helical chain along the b axis. In addition, there is a π-π stacking inter-action between the five-membered rings of adjacent fused-ring systems, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.666 (1) Å.
