The rovibronic (rotation-vibration-electronic) spectrum of the calcium monohydroxide radical (CaOH) is of interest to studies of exoplanet atmospheres and ultracold molecules.Here, we theoretically investigate the à 2 Π-X 2 Σ + band system of CaOH using high-level ab initio theory and variational nuclear motion calculations. New potential energy surfaces (PESs) are constructed for the X 2 Σ + and à 2 Π electronic states along with Ã-X transition dipole moment surfaces (DMSs). For the ground X 2 Σ + state, a published high-level ab initio PES is empirically refined to all available experimental rovibrational energy levels up to J = 15.5, reproducing the observed term values with a root-mean-square (rms) error of 0.06 cm −1 . Large-scale multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) calculations using quintuple-zeta quality basis sets are employed to generate the à 2 Π state PESs and Ã-X DMSs. Variational calculations consider both Renner-Teller and spin-orbit coupling effects, which are essential for a correct description of the spectrum of CaOH. Computed rovibronic energy levels of the à 2 Π state, line list calculations up to J = 125.5, and an analysis of Renner-Teller splittings in the ν 2 bending mode of CaOH are discussed.
