title: Harmonic and anharmonic contributions to parity-violating vibrational frequency difference between enantiomers of chiral molecules.
abstract: A general perturbative procedure for the computation of harmonic and anharmonic contributions to parity-violating vibrational shifts is introduced and applied to PHBrF and AsHBrF. The results point out the importance of both diagonal and off-diagonal anharmonic contributions and indicate that some parity-violating shift of AsHBrF approaches the resolution forecasted for next generation experiments. The proposed approach is sufficiently general and computationally effective to allow studies of similar and larger molecular systems.
