Crystal structure of 2-hy­droxy-2-phenyl­aceto­phenone oxime

The title compound [systematic name: 2-(N-hy­droxy­imino)-1,2-di­phenyl­ethanol], C(14)H(13)NO(2), 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—H(Oxm)⋯N(Oxm), O—H(Hydr)⋯O(Hydr), O—H′(Hydr)⋯O(Hydr) and O—H(Oxm)⋯O(Hydr) 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.
