With a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 11.5 fb 1 collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, for the first time the light hadron decay χ c 1 ( 3872 ) π + π η is searched for. While no significant signal is observed, the upper limits at the 90% confidence level for σ [ e + e γ χ c 1 ( 3872 ) ] B [ χ c 1 ( 3872 ) π + π η ] at center of mass energies from 4.13 GeV to 4.34 GeV are determined. By normalizing to the χ c 1 ( 3872 ) π + π J / ψ decay channel, a 90% confidence level upper limit for the branching fraction ratio R = B [ χ c 1 ( 3872 ) π + π η ] / B [ χ c 1 ( 3872 ) π + π J / ψ ] < 0.12 is given. These measurements provide important inputs for understanding the internal structure of the χ c 1 ( 3872 ) resonance.
