Ab
initio calculations of 51 electronic states in the representation
2s+1
Λ
(±)
of CdX (X = Se, Te) molecules
have been carried out by using the complete active space self-consistent
field and multireference configuration interaction (single and double
excitations with the Davidson correction). The potential energy along
with the static and transition dipole moment curves for the investigated
electronic states of the CdX molecules has been mapped. Consequently,
the spectroscopic constants
R
e
, ω
e
,
B
e
, and
T
e
have been computed for the bound states. The spectroscopic
dissociation energy
D
e
, the zero-point
energy, and the ionicity are also calculated for the bound electronic
states X

In the present work, the values are well-consistent with those available
in the literature.
