Dear All,
I am trying to calculate atomic charges of a system whose
total charge is +1. I am not able to get charges correctly as expected.
For the sake of better understanding, i have taken an easy system which
consists of 1 water molecule and 1 H atom (Total 4 atoms).
*First, I used Gaussian software to calculate the atomic charges on this
system. *
Mulliken atomic charges: (Method: hf 6-31g(d))
1
1 O -0.857873
2 H 0.424054
3 H 0.433819
4 H 1.000000
Sum of Mulliken atomic charges = 1.00000
*Using CP2K, i have got the following charges. *
MULLIKEN POPULATION ANALYSIS
# Atom Element Kind Atomic population Net charge
1 O 1 5.956324 0.043676
2 H 2 0.814162 0.185838
3 H 2 0.809985 0.190015
4 H 2 0.419529 0.580471
# Total charge 8.000000 1.000000
In case of atom centered basis set, i can clearly see +1 charge is
localized on 1 H atom where as it is not the case using mixed basis set.
Could anybody help me in this regard? The cp2k input file is enclosed.
Thanks.
Regards,
Sandeep
