Parity-violating nuclear spin-rotation and NMR shielding tensors in tetrahedral molecules
arXiv:2208.05458 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.106.062802
Abstract
In natural processes involving weak interactions, a violation of spatial parity conservation should appear. Its effects are expected to be observable in molecules using different spectroscopic methodologies, but due to the tiny magnitude of these effects they have never been measured yet. We present a theoretical analysis of four-component relativistic nuclear-spin-dependent parity-violating nuclear spin-rotation and NMR shielding tensors in a set of tetrahedral chiral molecules. This work highlights the crucial role played by the ligands and the electronic structure of the chiral center in the enhancement of these effects, leading the way towards targeted design of promising molecules for measurements.
