SystematicName = oxidanylsilanylidyne makes no sense
editProblem in the chembox:
| SystematicName = oxidanylsilanylidyne (substitutive nomenclature)
| SystematicName = oxidosilicon (additive nomenclature)
The substitutive nomenclature makes absolutely no sense for a simple inorganic compound.
The additive nomenclature is also very rarely used (35 occurrences only found by Google: is very poorly notorious for a name).
The best is probably to only provide the compositional name in the chembox: this name is the simplest, the best known, is amply sufficient for Wikipedia, and avoid to mislead the reader. Shinkolobwe (talk) 23:39, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Comparison with SiO2 in matrix isolation
editThe article notes tgat the bond length of SiO is similar to that of matrix-isolated monomeric SiO2. But the latter may not be simply douvje-bonded. The pi bonds in SiO2 can delocalize into 3-center 4-electron bonds so that the effective bond order in the SiO2 molecule is greater than 2. Olthe3rd1 (talk) 14:35, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

edit@Plantman: I write to you because you seem the last interested guy.
I arrived here to check this statement in the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms
Silicon Monoxide: A hard, abrasive, amorphous solid used as thin surface films to protect optical parts, mirrors and Aluminum coatings
I feel this at odd with the WIKI article, but I may be wrong.
I also feel suspect this phrase
Even though Potter reported the heat of combustion of SiO to be 200 to 800 calories higher than that of an equilibrium mixture of Si and SiO2 (which could, arguably, be used as evidence that SiO is a unique chemical compound) ...
because
1) should be calories/gram or calories/mole (eventually kilocalories)
2) I suspect that equilibrium should be equimolar.

- I’m sorry, but I can’t really help you in this matter, I’m very busy. There are many other chemists on Wikipedia who are much better at chemistry than I am. Plantman (talk) 13:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
