High-precision variational calculations for the rovibrational states in the range of the total orbital momentum L=0-4 and vibrational quantum number v=0-4 for the H{sub 2}{sup +} and HD{sup +} molecular ions are presented. Relativistic and radiative corrections of orders R{sub {infinity}}{alpha}{sup 2}, R{sub {infinity}}{alpha}{sup 2}(m/M), R{sub {infinity}}{alpha}{sup 3}, R{sub {infinity}}{alpha}{sup 3}(m/M), and, partially, R{sub {infinity}}{alpha}{sup 4} are taken into consideration as well as the finite size structure of proton and deuteron. It is found that the relative theoretical uncertainty due to uncalculated contributions of orders R{sub {infinity}}{alpha}{sup 4} and higher to the reference transition frequency interval (L=0,v=0){yields}(0,1) is about 1 ppb.
