An iterative static-exchange single-center close-coupling procedure is applied to electron collisions with molecular ions. The method is taken mutatus mutandus from a procedure used previously to study electron neutral-molecule collisions. The procedure is found to be both stable and efficient for calculating static-exchange level wave functions and eigenphases. The method is applied to electron collisions with H/sub 2/ /sup +/, CH/sup +/, and N/sub 2/ /sup +/. In addition, ro-vibrational-excitation cross sections for e+H/sub 2/ /sup +/ collisions in the adiabatic nuclei approximation and photoionization cross sections for H/sub 2/ and N/sub 2/ are reported.
