I prove general combinatorial properties which apply to singular Artin monoids and examine their relationship with the Vassiliev homomorphism ≠. I show that ≠ preserves the Intermediate Property, discovered by Corran, which holds in positive singular Artin monoids of finite type. From this it follows that ≠ is injective for a class of monoids which include singular Artin monoids of type I2(p), generalising a result of East.
