Abstract: The title compound, C₂₅H₁₆O, was prepared by the condensation reaction of pyrene-1-carbaldehyde and acetophenone in ethanol solution at room temperature. The phenyl ring forms a dihedral angle of 39.10 (11)° with the pyrene ring system. In the crystal structure, adjacent pyrene ring systems are linked by aromatic - stacking interactions, with a perpendicular interplanar distance of 3.267 (6) Å and a centroid-centroid offset of 2.946 (7) Å.
