The racemic form of the title secondary monoalcohol, C16H14O, forms crystals in which the molecules are linked into chains by hydrogen bonding. The chain architecture is unusual; adjacent molecules are related pseudosymmetrically, by either a pseudo-diad or a pseudo-glide plane, while alternate molecules are related exactly by a crystallographic glide plane.
