The authors present high resolution (0arcsec.6) observations of the 6 cm and 2 cm lines of formaldehyde and of the 2Π1/2J = 1/2 F = 1 - 1 line of OH towards the ultracompact H II region G 10.6 - 0.4. The OH distribution presents significant differences from the H2CO. The overall picture emerging from the data suggests a fragmentation process in which part of the angular momentum is converted into orbital motions of the fragments. 6 cm formaldehyde absorption has also been detected in front of another less compact H II region located in the immediate vicinity of G 10.6 - 0.4. This absorption probably originates in the extended and massive (>104M_sun;.) molecular cloud surrounding the complex. This H II region has a "cometary" morphology suggestive of a bow shock.
