Abstract: By using the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method with large atomic natural orbital (ANO-L) basis set, seven electronic states of the OClO- anion were calculated. The optimized geometry of the ground state with ANO basis set agrees better with the experimental and previous theoretical values. Furthermore, the stable geometries of three singlet and three triplet excited states were obtained. Taking the further correlation effects into account, the second-order perturbation (CASPT2) calculations were carried out for the energetic calibration. Furthermore, the Rydberg states of the OClO radical were investigated by using multiconfigurational CASPT2 (MS-CASPT2) theory under the basis set of ANO-L functions augmented with an adapted 1s1p1d Rydberg functions that have specially been built for this study. Ten electronic excited states were found for the transition from 3b1 electron into the Rydberg orbitals. The 3b1ns and 3b1np series agreed excellent with the experimental values, and the assignment of 3b1→3d series supported the results of Marston. Meanwhile, two and four Rydberg states were computed for the transition of 1a2 and 5b2 electron, respectively.
