Abstract
We employ the four-component relativistic extended-coupled-cluster (ECC) method to compute
the permanent electric dipole moment (PDM) of a few open-shell diatomic molecules in their
ground electronic state. The computed results are compared with the available results obtained
from the experiments and two other coupled-cluster-based methods− Z-vector technique and linear
expectation-value approach within the relativistic framework. The study reveals that the relativistic
ECC method accurately predicts the PDM of the molecules under consideration and also are in good
agreement with these two aforementioned correlated methods.
