Abstract In order to establish the mechanism of CO loss occurring during metastable decomposition of protonated 1‐indanone, fragmentations of monocyclic [C 9 H 9 O] + isomers have been studied. These ions of known structure were prepared by CI protonation and fragmentation of the corresponding acids chlorides. It is demonstrated that the wide component of the [MHCO] + metastable peak induced by protonated 1‐indanone fragmentation is the result of fragmentation of the [C 6 H 5 CH 2 CH 2 CO] + isomer ion.
