The R matrix approximation is used to compute the excitation collision strength of electron impact on Lilike C with the configuration interaction wavefunctions, in which the configuration inte ractions of an innershell electron excitation are included. For transition 1s 22s2S1s12p2Po,the result in this paper is a litt le smaller than that of the close coupling approximation and a little larger than that of CoulombBornexchange approximation,and accords with that of the experiment except that nearer excita tion threshold.
