A method of precise measurement of the \(X^{1}\Sigma (v,J,F) = (0,0,1/2) - (1,1,1/2)\) transitions in HeH⁺ (89.1 THz), NeH⁺ (81.3 THz), and ArH⁺ (77.1 THz) molecular ions is proposed. These E1-allowed transitions are useful for locking the frequencies of infrared lasers because they are free from electric-quadrupole shifts. The DC Stark and Zeeman shifts are suppressed to below 10⁻¹⁶. The molecular ions are prepared in the \((0,0,1/2)\) state using a cryogenic chamber without optical pumping. Measurements with low systematic uncertainty using a small number of molecular ions is possible by quantum logical spectroscopic detection of the \((0,2,3/2)\) state to which molecular ions are pumped by the clock laser.
