The first observation of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed 0c -> -K thorn and 0c -> -z thorn decays is reported, using proton -proton collision data at a center -of -mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb-1, collected with the LHCb detector between 2016 and 2018. The branching fraction ratios are measured to be Bo0c ->-K thorn thorn Bo0c ->-z thorn thorn 1/4 1/26.08 ⠂ 0.51ostat thorn ⠂ 0.40osyst thorn ⠃%; Bo0c ->-z thorn thorn Bo0c ->-z thorn thorn 1/4 1/215.81 ⠂ 0.87ostat thorn ⠂ 0.44osyst thorn ⠂ 0.16oext thorn ⠃%. In addition, using the 0c -> -z thorn decay channel, the 0c baryon mass is measured to be Mo0c thorn 1/4 2695.28 ⠂ 0.07ostat thorn ⠂ 0.27osyst thorn ⠂ 0.30oext thorn MeV; improving the precision of the previous world average by a factor of 4.
