Towards detection of the molecular parity violation in chiral Ru(acac)${}_3$ and Os(acac)${}_3$

Abstract

We present a theory-experiment investigation of the helically chiral compounds Ru(acac)${}_3$ and Os(acac)${}_3$ as candidates for the next-generation experiments for detection of molecular parity violation (PV) in vibrational spectra. We used state-of-the-art relativistic calculations to identify optimal vibrational modes with expected PV effects exceeding by up to two orders of magnitude the projected instrumental sensitivity of the experiment under construction at the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers in Paris. High-resolution measurements of the vibrational spectrum of Ru(acac)${}_3$ carried out as the first steps towards the planned experiment are presented.
