Calculations of the photodissociating transitions from the ground state of OH(+) are presented. Potential curves for the lowest three 3Sigma(-) and lowest three 3Pi states as well as the matrix elements connecting them to the ground state were obtained by CASSCF/CI techniques. The Rydberg nature of the excited states at small internuclear distances is investigated by obtaining an optimized Rydberg orbital and enlarging the active space in the CI calculation. The identification of the Rydberg states is found to depend sensitively on the procedure used to characterize the states. Transition dipole moments between the ground and excited states are evaluated and used to calculate photodissociation cross sections. The OH(+) ion has been observed in comet spectra and photodissociation is expected to be the dominant destruction process of most species in comets.
