The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to <i>R </i>= 0.051 for 3310 observed reflections and <i>wR(F²) </i>= 0.149. There are two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. In both the molecules, the phenyl rings are planar. The crystal structure is stabilized by van der Waals forces.</span></span></span>
