have been found to have a marked influence on the metastable ion decompositions and collisionally activated (CA) fragmentations of the M" ion of a number of 1,2,3-triarylpropen-l-ones. An attempt has been made to confirm the structures of the rearrangement ions, IC,,H,,I+*, [C13Hll]+, [CljH9l+ and [C,,HS]+' by comparison of their CA spectra with those of the corresponding ions produced from reference compounds. The results imply that [C,,Hloj +. and the M" ions of phenanthrene and diphenylacetylene have a common structure, ICI3H9]+ and the fluorenyl cation have a common structure and [C,,H,] +' and biphenylene molecular ion have a common structure. The available data indicate that the ion at m/z 167 consists of a mixture of structures, likely possibilities being diphenylmethyl, phenyltropylium and dihydrofluorenyl cations.

The collisional activation (CA) mass spectra of the two isomeric [C,H,]+ ions, benzyl and tropyl, have been reassessed. The structurecharacteristic feature of their CA mass spectra, the m/z 77:74 abundance ratio, has been confirmed as 3.15 f 0.2 for benzyl cations and lowered to 035 f 0.3 for tropyl
## Abstract Collisional activation spectra show that the [C~9~H~11~O] ion formed by loss of CH~2~OH from the title compound has rearranged to the protonated phenylacetone structure.
