Multireference configuration interaction calculations are carried out for ground and excited states of trichloromethanol to investigate two important photofragmentation processes relevant to atmospheric chemistry. For CCl3OH five low-lying excited states in the energy range between 6.1 and 7.1 eV are found to be highly repulsive for C-Cl elongation leading to Cl2COH (X2A') and Cl (X2P). Photodissociation along C-O cleavage resulting in Cl3C (X2A') and OH (X2Π) has to overcome a barrier of about 0.8 eV (13A'', 11A'') and 1.2 eV (13A') because the low-lying excited states 11A'', 13A' and 13A'' become repulsive only after elongating the C-O bond by about 0.3 Å.
