Let \({\cal H}\) be the set of all commutative rings with unity whose nilradical is a divided prime ideal. The concept of maximal non-ϕ-Mori subrings of a ring is introduced to generalize the concept of maximal non-Mori subrings of domain. A proper subring R of a ring \(T \in {\cal H}\) is called a maximal non-ϕ-Mori subring if R is not a ϕ-Mori ring but each subring of T properly containing R is a ϕ-Mori ring.
