Results of theoretical studies of rotationally resolved photoelectron spectra for (2 + 1[prime]) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPT) of the C [sup 2][Sigma][sup [minus]] D [sup 2][Sigma][sup [minus]], E [sup 2][Sigma][sup [minus]], and F [sup 2][Sigma][sup [minus]] Rydberg states of ClO are presented. Cooper minima are predicted to occur in the electronic continua for photoionization of the D and F states and lead to unusual behavior in the ion rotational distributions. Strong partial wave l mixing is also predicted in the continua for the C and E states due to the nonspherical molecular ion potentials. These Cooper minima and l mixing make the associated photoionization dynamics quite nonatomiclike. 21 refs., 8 figs.
