The title compound, C19H14O, contains two independent mol-ecules with the same s-cis conformation for the ketone unit. Both mol-ecules are non-planar with dihedral angles of 51.9 (1) and 48.0 (1)° between the benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system. In the crystal, neighboring mol-ecules are stabilized by intermolecular C - H⋯π inter-actions, giving a two-dimensional supra-molecular ar...
