The reactions of hydrocyanic acid with both excited and ground-state atoms have been examined in low-temperature matrices. The major products of HCN + O({sup 1}D{sub 2}) reaction were isocyanic acid (HNCO) and cyanic acid (HOCN), confirming predictions of the intermediacy of HNCO and oxazirine on the pathway to the final products seen in the gas-phase reaction. In contrast, no evidence was found for reaction between HCN and O({sup 3}P) atoms in the matrix.
