In the crystal structure of the title compound, C 17H 14N 2O 2, the 4-phenyl ring is twisted by 24.4 (3)° and the 5-phenyl ring by 72.6 (2)° with respect to the imidazole ring. Four adjacent molecules are linked by short O-H⋯N [O⋯N = 2.602 (6) Å] interactions into a hydrogen-bonded tetrameric entity...
