Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₀F₂O, the dihedral angles between the benzene rings in the two crystallographically independent molecules are 46.9 (2) and 47.6 (2)°. The molecules are linked into dimers by C-HF interactions and these dimers are further stacked into columns along the b axis by - interactions between the benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.8221 Å; the dihedral angle between the planes of these rings is 4.87 (2)°]. In addition, C-F interactions also contribute to the crystal packing (Ccentroid distance = 3.5919 Å).
