The reactions of silicon atoms with cyanogen 12 in an argon matrix at 10 K have been studied. In the initial step a triplet n adduct T‐13 is formed between a silicon atom and 12 . The next step needs photochemical activation. Long‐wavelength irradiation yields 3‐cyanoazasilacyclopropenylidene 14 , which upon irradiation with 254 nm light is transformed into three isomeric silylenes: dicyanosilylene 15 , cyano(isocyano)silylene 16 , and di(isocyano)silylene 17 . The structural elucidation of all new species is based on comparison of the experimentally obtained IR and UV/Vis spectra with the results of density functional theory calculations.
