The title compound [systematic name: 2-(N-hydroxyimino)-1,2-diphenylethanol], C14H13NO2, consists of hydroxy phenylacetophenone and oxime units, in which the phenyl rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 80.54(7)°. In the crystal, intermolecular O - HOxm⋯NOxm, O - HHydr⋯OHydr, O - H′Hydr⋯OHydr and O - HOxm⋯OHydr hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains along the c-axis direction. π-π contacts between inversion-related of the phenyl ring adjacent to the oxime group have a centroid-centroid separation of 3.904(3)Å and a weak C - H⋯π(ring) interaction is also observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (58.4%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (26.4%) contacts. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals contacts are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing.
