Analysis of ab initio cluster wave functions show that the shifts in the vibrational frequencies of CO/Cu and CN/Cu due to an applied electric field arise dominantly from a Stark effect. The CN bonding is largely ionic while CO has a dative covalent {π} bond. Consequently the Stark effect mechanisms are significantly different.
