Excitation energies and oscillator strengths for electric dipole transitions between low-lying states in the silver isoelectronic sequence are studied using relativistic Hartree-Fock wave functions. For Z > or = 61, our calculation shows that the ground state of Ag-like ions is 4f /sup 2/F/sub 5/2/ rather than 5s /sup 2/S/sub 1/2/. We found a diminishing role of the spin-orbit effect on transitions between levels with high angular momenta. Effects of anticrossings between 4d/sup 9/ 4f/sup 2/ and 4d/sup 10/ 5l (l = 0,2,4) states at high Z are discussed.
