We discuss results of theoretical studies of rotationally resolved photoelectron spectra of the CH, NH, and OH radicals, including predictions of zero-kinetic-energy (ZEKE) spectra for molecular ions produced via resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization. The influence of dynamical features such as Cooper minima, orbital evolution, and l mixing are examined for photoionization of the 3p[sigma] Rydberg orbital in these radicals. We also make specific predictions for the photoelectron spectra for each molecule within the context of current experimental capabilities. 29 refs., 11 figs.
