Abstract: The title compound, C₂₃H₂₂O, is composed of molecules bonded into linear one-dimensional chains through O-H(fluorene) hydrogen bonds, each molecule being both H-atom donor and acceptor. No O-HO-H hydrogen bonding is exhibited, despite the reasonable donor-acceptor proximity [2.849  (3)  Å]. The melted crystals failed to recrystallize on cooling, but solution NMR showed that no decomposition had occurred during the melting.
