Abstract
A b initio relativistic calculations have been performed for the two lowest electronic states of the PtH molecule, with relativistic effects accounted for by means of relativistic core potentials and first-order perturbation theory. Electron correlation has been treated at the multireference configuration interaction level. The 2Σ and 2Δ states are close in energy, with the Σ state somewhat lower, according to the core potential calculations. It is concluded that a method which gives a correct atomic description is imperative to describe the spectroscopy of the molecule.
