Silicon oxysulfide, OSiS, and seven of its minor isotopic species have been characterized for the first time in the gas phase at high spectral resolution by means of Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy. The equilibrium structure of OSiS has been determined from a combination of experimental ground state rotational constants and calculated vibrational corrections to those. The structural parameters %(RO-Si=1.5064 Å and RSi-S=1.9133 Å) are in good agreement with values from high-level quantum-chemical calculations using coupled-cluster techniques together with sophisticated additivity and extrapolation schemes. %The bond distances in OSiS are very short in comparison to SiO and SiS. This unexpected finding is explained by the partial charges %calculated for OSiS via a natural population analysis. %The results convey that electrostatic effects rather than multiple bonding are the key to understand the bonding situation in OSiS. %The data presented provide the spectroscopic information needed for radio-astronomical searches for OSiS in space.
