Cross sections for 1{ital s} ionization of the 1{ital s}{sup 2}2{ital s}{sup 2} and 1{ital s}{sup 2}2{ital s}2{ital p}{sup 3}{ital P} (metastable) states of C{sup 2+} and O{sup 4+} ions in 0.5--1.8 MeV/{ital u} collisions with H{sub 2} and He targets were measured using projectile Auger electron spectroscopy at 0{degree}. Calculations of the {ital K}-shell ionization cross section {sigma}{sub {ital K}} were performed including contributions from projectile-electron--target-nucleus interactions ({sigma}{sub {ital e}{ital n}{ital I}}) within a plane-wave Born approximation (PWBA), and contributions from projectile-electron--target-electron interactions ({sigma}{sub {ital e}{ital e}{ital I}}) within an impulse approximation (IA). The theoretical total cross section {sigma}{sub {ital K}}={sigma}{sub {ital e}{ital n}{ital I}}+{sigma}{sub {ital e}{ital e}{ital I}} was found to be in overall agreement with the {ital K}-shell ionization measurements indicating a contribution of up to {similar to}30% due to electron-electron interactions. Separate screening-antiscreening calculations of {sigma}{sub {ital K}} were also performed and found to be in overall agreement with our data. Additionally, our PWBA-IA ionization calculation was also tested for H-like projectiles and found to be in agreement with recently published data. These results suggest that the IA calculation of {sigma}{sub {ital e}{ital e}{ital I}} when combined with a PWBA calculation of {sigma}{sub {ital e}{ital n}{ital I}} is quite adequate for describing {ital K}-shell ionization.
