Mass and full width of the heavy scalar molecule <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mi mathvariant="script">M</a:mi></a:math> composed of the mesons <d:math xmlns:d="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><d:msubsup><d:mi>B</d:mi><d:mi>c</d:mi><d:mo>+</d:mo></d:msubsup></d:math> and <f:math xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><f:msubsup><f:mi>B</f:mi><f:mi>c</f:mi><f:mo>−</f:mo></f:msubsup></f:math> are calculated in the QCD sum rule framework. To find its mass and current coupling, we apply the two-point sum rule method. The width of the hadronic molecule <h:math xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><h:mi mathvariant="script">M</h:mi><h:mo>=</h:mo><h:msubsup><h:mi>B</h:mi><h:mi>c</h:mi><h:mo>+</h:mo></h:msubsup><h:msubsup><h:mi>B</h:mi><h:mi>c</h:mi><h:mo>−</h:mo></h:msubsup></h:math> is evaluated by taking into account its dissociation to <k:math xmlns:k="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><k:msub><k:mi>η</k:mi><k:mi>c</k:mi></k:msub><k:msub><k:mi>η</k:mi><k:mi>b</k:mi></k:msub><k:mo>,</k:mo><k:mi>J</k:mi><k:mo>/</k:mo><k:mi>ψ</k:mi><k:mi mathvariant="normal">ϒ</k:mi></k:math>, and <n:math xmlns:n="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><n:msubsup><n:mi>B</n:mi><n:mi>c</n:mi><n:mo>+</n:mo></n:msubsup><n:msubsup><n:mi>B</n:mi><n:mi>c</n:mi><n:mo>−</n:mo></n:msubsup></n:math> mesons.

Because the partial widths of <bb:math xmlns:bb="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><bb:mi mathvariant="script">M</bb:mi></bb:math> molecule’s decay channels depend on the strong couplings at <eb:math xmlns:eb="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><eb:mi mathvariant="script">M</eb:mi></eb:math>-meson-meson vertices, we estimate them by invoking tools of the three-point sum rule method.
