Abstract
The mass spectrum of msβtetraphenylchlorin was observed to contain a significant porphyrin peak. Attempts to obtain metallochlorin spectra yeilded mainly metalloporphyrin spectra. Sublimation experiments established that the chlorin to porphyrin conversion resulted from electronβimpact excitation and did not arise from thermolysis on the probe or from impurities. In conjunction with previous literature data, this is interpreted as showing that the apparent stability of chlorins with respect to porphyrins is mainly a matter of the activation energies required under specific constraints.

The most important fragmentation in the electron impact mass spectra of dihydrocevine orthoacetate and some analogues involves loss of an acetoxyl radical from the molecular ion, and is associated with strain in the orthoacetate group bridging a six-membered ring. The process is much less important
