✦ Synopsis

The reactive intermediate in the low temperature matrix photolysis of formaldehyde is being s~gested as hydroxymethylene (HEOH). The Inaction products formed with a series of isotopically Iabelled formaldetiydes in argon and carbon mono?cide matrices are identified by infrared spectroscopy-The implication of the matrix result to tke gas phase photochemis*Jy is brieff y discussed.
