It works correctly in headlines, but not in running text. I think [fn:1]
that it is a bug and that the following patch fixes it:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/lisp/org-latex.el b/lisp/org-latex.el
index 4085d6e..a2ff517 100644
--- a/lisp/org-latex.el
+++ b/lisp/org-latex.el
@@ -2417,6 +2417,7 @@ The conversion is made depending of STRING-BEFORE and STRING-AFTER."
"\\Styles"
"\\\\"
"\\`"
+ "\\\""
"\\addcontentsline"
"\\address"
"\\addtocontents"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
but I have not tested it extensively and it may do more harm than good:
I'd wait for a more definitive opinion.
Alternatively, you can use UTF-8 in your org file and write Schrödinger
explicitly. This will survive the LaTeX export intact and the
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} in the LaTeX file will do the right thing
with it.[fn:2]

Footnotes:
[fn:1] but I'm really not sure: I've lost track of how things work in
LaTeX export - sigh...
[fn:2] I'm not sure whether it will survive the email trip
though. Here's hoping that it will.
