Complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and multiconfiguration second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) calculations with an ANO-RCC basis were performed for the 1(2)A', 1(2)A '', 2(2)A', and 2(2)A '' states of the CH3Br+ ion. The 1(2)A' state is predicted to be the ground state. The 2(2)A' state is predicted to be a bound state. The adiabatic and vertical excitation energies and the relative energies at the molecular geometry were calculated, and the energetic results for 2(2)A' and 2(2)A '' are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. Potential energy curves (PECs) for Br-loss and H-loss dissociations from the four C-s states were calculated at the CASPT2//CASSCF level and the electronic states of the CH3+ and CH2Br+ ions as the dissociation products were determined by checking the relative energies and geometries of the asymptote products along the PECs. In the Br-loss dissociation, the 1(2)A', 1(2)A '', and 2(2)A' states correlate with CH3+ (X(1)A(1)') and the 2(2)A '' state correlates with CH3+ (1(3)A ''). The energy increases monotonically with the R(C-Br) value along the four Br-loss PECs. In the H-loss dissociation the 1(2)A', 1(2)A '', 2(2)A', and 2(2)A '' states correlate with the X(1)A(1), 1(3)A '', 1(3)A', and 1(1)A '' states (1(3)A' lying above 1(1)A '') of CH2Br+, respectively. Along the 2(2)A '' H-loss PEC there is an energy barrier and the CASSCF wave functions at large R(C-H) values have shake-up ionization character. Along the 2(2)A' H-loss PEC there are an energy barrier and a minimum. At the end of the present paper we present a comprehensive review on the electronic states and the X-loss and H-loss dissociations of the CH3X+ (X = F, Cl, and Br) ions on the basis of our previous studies and the present study.
