The adiabatic rotational state method is used to investigate the reaction of C(+) ions with the OH radical for the formation of CO and CO(+) at low interstellar temperatures. The OH molecule being in an X 2Pi state, full account has been taken of the coupling of the electronic and rotational angular momentum in treating the collision dynamics of the ion-molecule system. The potential energies of the adiabatic rotational states correlated to the lowest rotational state manifolds of the 2Pi3/2 and 2Pi1/2 electronic states of OH are first obtained. The adiabatic capture model is subsequently used to determine the reactive rate constants for temperatures in the range from 1 to 200 K.
