In the title compound, C38H30N2O2, the acenaphthylene ring is close to being planar [maximum deviation = 0.1047 (11) Å]. The dihedral angles between the three benzene rings and the acenaphthylene system are 39.47 (3), 37.65 (3) and 44.47 (3)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯N interaction forms an S(5) hydrogen-bond ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked into [101] chains by a set of C—H⋯O interactions
