In the title compound, C27H20O2, the phenyl ring is oriented with respect to the naphthalene ring systems at 57.87 (6) and 85.12 (6)°. The two naphthalene ring systems make a dihedral angle of 70.10 (4)°. In the molecule, the hydroxy groups are involved in a strong intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. A weak C—H⋯π interaction is also observed in the crystal.

A dry 50 ml flask was charged with benzaldehyde (10 mmol) and naphthalen-2-ol (20 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 373 K for 12 h and then added ethanol (15 ml), after heated under reflux for 1 h, the precipitate was filtrated out and washed with ethanol for 3 times to give the title compound. Colourless crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation of a dichloromethane solution.
hydroxy H atoms were placed in chemical sensible positions and refined in a riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). Other H atoms were situated into the idealized positions and treated as riding with C–H = 0.93 Å (aromatic) and 0.98 Å (methine), Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Simple organic compounds containing strong intramolecular H-bonds have attracted an attention as materials which display ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transitions (Fu, Zhang, Cai, Ge et al., 2011; Fu, Zhang, Cai, Zhang, Ge, Xiong & Huang, 2011; Fu, Zhang, Cai, Zhang, Ge, Xiong, Huang & Nakamura, 2011). With the purpose of obtaining phase transition crystals of organic compounds, various organic molecules have been studied and a series of new materials have been elaborated (Fu et al. 2007; Fu & Xiong 2008; Fu et al. 2008; Fu et al. 2009). Herewith we present the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, 1,1'-(phenylmethylene)dinaphthalen-2-ol.
In the title compound (Fig. 1) bond lengths and angles have normal values (Devi & Bhuyan 2004). The dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring systemes and the benzene ring are 57.87 (6)° and 85.12 (6)°, respectively. The H atoms of hydroxy groups were involved in intramolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds. The weak intermolecular C—H···π interaction is present in the crystal structure with the C19···Cg = 3.478 (2)Å (Cg is the centroid of the C22 to C27 benzene ring) (Table 1).
