Theoretical chemistry
The task of the theoreticians is to guide experiment towards the ideal molecule for the high-resolution experiment. A computational protocol has been developed for the rapid screening of candidate molecules. Furthermore, a detailed analysis and modeling of how the chemical environment influences the parity violating vibrational shift will be carried out. If successful, such a model would allow a rapid screening of candidate molecules and possibly computer-aided design of new molecules optimized for the high resolution experiment.

Synthetic chemistry
The objective is to synthesize the appropriate chiral molecule for the PV experimental test. We will essentially explore the chemistry of methyltrioxorhenium (MTO), which sublimes very easily, and we will prepare chiral derivatives by diverse strategies:

Infrared (IR) Ultra high resolution spectroscopy
The main task is to develop the Doppler-free two photon Ramsey fringes experiment which aims at detecting a shift in the vibrational spectrum of the enantiomers of a chiral molecule due to parity violation.
