Functionalization of large aromatic compounds and biomolecules with optical cycling centers (OCC) is of considerable interest for the design and engineering of molecules with a highly selective optical photoresponse. Both internal and external dynamics in such molecules can be precisely controlled by lasers, enabling their efficient cooling and opening up broad prospects for high-precision spectroscopy, ultracold chemistry, enantiomer separation, and various other fields. The way the OCC is bonded to a molecular ligand is crucial to the optical properties of the OCC, first of all, for the degree of closure of the optical cycling loop. Here we introduce a novel type of functionalized molecular cation where a positively charged OCC is bonded to various organic zwitterions with a particularly high permanent dipole moment. We consider strontium(I) complexes with betaine and other zwitterionic ligands and show the possibility of creating efficient and highly closed population cycling for dipole-allowed optical transitions in such complexes.
