Dear Matt,
                For Br,  DZVP is the large basis set available in cp2k.
>From last two days, i am continuously running tests on different ion pairs.
All calculations show considerable difference compared to MP2 results.

I will repeat the calculations with extra diffuse functions wherever
possible.

(when i did the calculations on different ion-pairs, i got huge differences
in some cases also ( -40 kcal/mol difference)



Regards,
Sandeep
