In the title compound, C(31)H(22)O(2), the bond angle at the C atom belonging to the five-membered ring of the fluorene system is opened to 112.64 (12)°. The two benzene rings are twisted with respect to the fluorene ring system at dihedral angles of 72.81 (6) and 81.83 (6)°. One C(ar-yl)-O-C-C fragment is extended, with a C-O-C-C torsion angle of -178.77 (13)°, but the other C(ar-yl)-O-C-C fragment is bent, with a C-O-C-C torsion angle of 64.78 (19)°. Inter-molecular weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
