Ab initio all-electron relativistic calculations of the low-lying excited states of have been performed at MRCI+Q/AVQZ level. The calculated electronic states, including 12 doublet and 12 quartet 螞-S states, are correlated to the dissociation limit of Si(3Pg) + Si+(2Pu). Spin-orbit interaction is taken into account via the state interaction approach with the full Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian, which causes the entire 24 螞-S states to split into 54 惟 states. This is the first time that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) calculation has been performed on . The obtained potential energy curves (PECs) of 螞-S and 惟 states are respectively depicted with the aid of the avoided crossing rule between the same symmetry. The spectroscopic constants of the bound 螞-S and 惟 states are determined, and excellent agreements with the latest theoretical results are achieved.
