title: Crystal structure of 5-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-3-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-phen-yl)ethen-yl]cyclo-hex-2-en-1-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C22H22O, the dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings is 53.55 (7)°. Weak C-H⋯O inter-actions help to direct the packing, forming sheets lying parallel to (020).
