In this paper, we present rovibrational energy levels of CH 2 D + and CHD 2 + . They are computed with a large basis and the Lanczos algorithm. CH 2 D + and CHD 2 + are believed to play an important role in interstellar space, but so far, there are no definitive observations. The predictions of this paper should facilitate detection. For CH 2 D + , two CH stretch bands have been studied at high resolution. Compared to our calculated energies, the root-mean-square error is 0.08 cm -1 . For CHD 2 + , one CH stretch band has been studied at high resolution. Compared to our calculated energies, the root-mean-square error is 0.5 cm -1 . Errors are larger, for both isotopologues, for bend states. We attribute these errors to the potential energy surface. Wave function and probability distribution plots are used to make assignments. The ν 1 band of CHD 2 + is significantly perturbed, and according to our calculations, the 3ν 3 state is closest and might be the most important perturber.
