The matrix isolation technique has been employed to investigate the reactions of SiCl4 and HSiCl3 with CH3OH. For the reaction of HSiCl3 with CH3OH, twin jet deposition and merged jet depostion led to the same products, although with a much higher yield in the merged jet experiments. This product was identified as HCl2SiOCH3, and was conclusively identified by use of extensive isotopic labeling, the observation of HCl (or DCl) as an additional reaction product, and by comparison to density functional calculations. Most of the fundamental vibrational modes of this species that lie above 400 cm-1 were observed, some with very high intensities. Surprisingly SiCl4 and CH3OH did not show similar reactivity.
