[CP2K:3185] Re: error in bond dissociation energy of gas phase molecule

[hut... at pci.uzh.ch]

Hi

I remember a similar case where the production of a spin polarized
intermediate resulted in a "wrong" activation energy. The problem
was related (at that time) to the carbon pseudopotential
that had bad transferability from non-spin-polarized to
spin-polarized situations. This could be a similar situation.

BTW check the literature for the really bad behavior of all
non SIE corrected functionals for this type of reaction. 

regards

Juerg

Yes. The independent check on pseudos will be rather helpful.
Thanks a lot.
