High-precision e+e−→ccˉ data (20 final states) from the BESIII and Belle in s=3.75−4.7 GeV are analyzed with a semi three-body unitary coupled-channel model. Vector charmonium poles are extracted from the amplitudes obtained from the fit. We find well-known ψ states listed in the PDG, and also several states near open-charm thresholds. The compositeness of the near-threshold poles suggests that ψ(4040) could mainly consist of a D∗Dˉ∗-molecule component, rather than a conventionally accepted quark-model ψ(3S) state. Also, ψ(4230) and ψ(4360) might be substantial mixtures of D1(2420)Dˉ, D1(2420)Dˉ∗, Ds∗Dˉs∗, and ccˉ components.
