In the crystal structure of the title compound, C14H10F2O, the dihedral angles between the benzene rings in the two crystallographically independent molecules are 46.9 (2) and 47.6 (2)°. The molecules are linked into dimers by C—H...F interactions and these dimers are further stacked into columns along the b axis by π–π interactions between the benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8221 Å; the dihedral angle between the planes of these rings is 4.87 (2)°]. In addition, C—F...π interactions also contribute to the crystal packing (C...centroid distance = 3.5919 Å).
