Hi Matt,
Thanks very much for your reply. Maybe I should try hybrid functional for
my system in CP2K.
Please forgive my ignorance, but what's the meaning of > grep ' 5
C 1' ?
The reason I choose PBE functional is that I first optimized the geometry
in Gaussian09 with different functionals, and the PBE functional gave a
reasonable structure and spectrum compared to experimental spectrum, while
BLYP, B3LYP, PW91 etc. could not get the same structure. However, In CP2K,
my system run too slow with PBE functional, so I just try to use BLYP
functional to check if it also low speed with different functionals. That
comes to this question.
It's really a big challenge that a proton shared with two water molecules
and have two pi-hydrogen bonds in one system. Anyway, thanks very much for
discussion.
Best wishes,
Huan
