A. A. Abdul Ajees, S. Manikandan and R. Raghunathan

Abstract: The title molecule, C₁₇H₁₄O, contains p-methylbenzylidene and 1-indanone moieties. The 1-indanone moiety is nearly planar and it forms a dihedral angle of 7.2  (2)° with the plane through the methylphenyl ring. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-HO intermolecular interactions.
