9-(p-Methylphenyl)fluorene

A. W. McLean, C. Y. Meyers and P. D. Robinson

Abstract: The title compound, C₂₀H₁₆, displays no unusual structural characteristics. The aryl and fluorenyl ring planes form an angle of 78.26  (14)°. Neither intermolecular hydrogen bonding nor aryl-H(arene) interactions are exhibited, which conforms with the rapid recrystallization of the melted crystals on cooling.
