The 364 nm negative ion photoelectron spectrum of AgO− is reported. Transitions to the A 2Σ+ state and the X 2Π1/2 and X 2Π3/2 spin–orbit states of AgO are observed. The electronic ground state of AgO− is found to have a vibrational frequency of 497 (20) cm−1 and an equilibrium bond length of 1.935 (15) Å. The electron affinity of AgO is found to be 1.654 (2) eV.
