✦ Synopsis

Fragmentation of the acetyl-and propionyl-ferrocenes under electron impact together with the rupture of C-CO bonds, characteristic of ketones, also includes elimination of water and migration of the OH group to the central metal atom, which is due to keto-enol tautomerization of the acyl group in molecular or fragment ions.
