Electronic structure enhancement factors of simultaneous parity and time-reversal violation ($\mathcal{P,T}$-violation) caused by an electric dipole moment of the electron (eEDM) and scalar-pseudoscalar nucleon-electron current (SPNEC) interactions are reported for various metal mono-hydroxides, several of which are considered laser--coolable and promising candidates for an eEDM measurement. Electronic structure enhancements are calculated \textit{ab initio} within zeroth order regular…
