Ultracold molecules are a powerful platform for metrology, precision measurements and searches for new, beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. Sr2, thanks to its simple structure, insensitivity to external fields and narrow optical transitions, provides an excellent testbed for the search for new interactions. Here, we present a detailed characterization of our 88Sr2 molecular clock for a vibrational transition spanning the entire depth of the ground state potential. We also discuss prospects to use strontium isotopologues to place improved constraints on new mass-dependent forces, including possible pathways toward the production of ultracold 86Sr2 and 84Sr2 dimers and spectroscopy of clock lines in these species for use in the search for new mass-dependent forces.
