Molecules containing superheavy atoms can be artificially created to serve as sensitive probes to study symmetry-violating phenomena. Here, we provide detailed theoretical studies of quantities relevant to the electron electric dipole moment (eEDM) and nucleus-electron scalar-pseudoscalar interactions in diatomic molecules containing superheavy lawrencium nuclei. The sensitivity to parity and time (or, equivalently,CP) reversal violating properties is studied for different neutral and ionic molecules. The effective electric fields in these systems are found to be about 3–4 times larger than other known molecules on which eEDM experiments are being performed. Similarly, these superheavy molecules exhibit an enhancement of more than 3 times for-violating scalar-pseudoscalar nucleus-electron interactions. Our preliminary analysis using the Woods-Saxon nuclear model also demonstrates that these results are sensitive to the diffuse surface interactions inside the Lr nucleus. We also briefly comment on some experimental aspects by discussing the production of these systems.
