High-resolution mid-infrared spectroscopy of buffer-gas-cooled methyltrioxorhenium molecules

We demonstrate cryogenic buffer-gas cooling of gas-phase methyltrioxorhenium (MTO). This molecule is closely related to chiral organometallic molecules where the parity-violating energy differences between enantiomers is measurable. The molecules are produced with a rotational temperature of approxi...
