Abstract
The analogy between copper and hydrogen atoms (single s-shell valence electron) has made dicopper Cu2 the model diatomic molecule for studies of transition metal bonding. Many calculations of its ground electronic state properties have been performed, but little has been done on the excited states because of a scarcity of data. Normally experimental bond lengths, etc. are derived from spectra of warm samples, which exhibit copious rotational structure.
