Abstract In the framework of the Born–Oppenheimer (BO) method, we illustrate our ab-initio spectroscopic study of the of silver hydride molecule. The calculation of 48 electrons for this system is very difficult, so we have been employed a pseudo-potential (P.P) to reduce the big number of electrons to two electrons of valence, which is proposed by Barthelat and Durant. This allowed us to make a configuration interaction (CI). The potential energy curves (PECs) and the spectroscopic constants of AgH have been investigated for Σ+, Π and Δ symmetries. We have been determined the permanent and transition dipole moments (PDM and TDM), the vibrational energies levels and their spacing. We compared our results with the available experimental and theoretical results in the literature. We found a good accordance with the experimental and theoretical data that builds a validation of the choice of our approach.
