Photolysis (λ > 345 nm) of matrix-isolated (trimethoxysilyl)diazomethane (1e) leads to the formation of (trimethoxysilyl)carbene (2e), which was characterized by IR and UV−vis spectroscopy. The photochemistry, reaction with molecular oxygen, and carbonylation of 2e were studied in argon matrices...
