Abstract

The B¹ A ″ (000)↔ X¹ A ′ (000) band system of a cold beam of CuOH has been studied field-free and in the presence of a static electric field. The Stark tuning of the low-J levels of the X ¹ A ′ (000) state were analyzed to give a value of 3.968(32) D for the a-component of the permanent electric dipole moment, _a. An upper limit of 0.3 D for _a(B¹ A ″) is established from the lack of observable Stark tuning for the low-J levels of the B ¹ A ″ (000) state. The experimental value for _a(X¹ A ′) is compared to theoretical predictions and other Cu-containing molecules. A molecular orbital correlation diagram is used to rationalize the large change in _a upon excitation. The electronegativity of OH was determined to be 2.81 from a comparison of the determined _a with the experimental values for CuF, CuO, and CuS.
