We report on progress in calculation of the spin–orbit interaction for the HD molecular ion. This interaction is currently the largest source of theoretical uncertainty in determination of the hyperfine structure of ro-vibrational transition lines. The corrections of order
are derived and numerically calculated. Theoretical hyperfine intervals are compared with experimental data, and the observed discrepancies are discussed.
