Abstract
Go-condensation of thermally generated silicon atoms with formaldehyde in a n argon matrix and subsequent irradiation is used as an access to compounds of the composition CH2OSi. Isolation and matrix-spectroscopic identificati on of siloxiranylidene (2) and the H2Si . CO complex 1 are described. The c omparison of the experimental and calculated IR spectra shows that 1 has a pyramidal and not a planar ketene-like structure.
