QMMM input file

Hello, 

I'm trying to do a QM/MM simulation in CP2K of an iron(II) active site with 
a dioxygen binding
reaction, in which the 
overall charge of the QM part is -1, and spin multiplicity is 5 or 7 
depending
on the spin-state of iron(II).


I am struggling with this. I attach my input file, and would like to hear 
any experienced
user's comments on my setup. 

My questions are:

(I) Which basis set and pseudopotential to use for Fe.
I've used the one that is recommended in the user forum
namely DZVP-MOLOPT-SR-GTH

(II) Do I need to define only the QM atom types, or both the
QM and MM? 

(III) For the QM part, for the residues I've selected, I cut using the 
link-atom 
method, cutting between the alpha and beta carbons, thus effectively 
describing my backbone with MM and my side-chain as QM. How many link
atoms is customary to use? I have used 6. 

(IV) Does the command *&QM_KIND H** MM_INDEX *mean we define explicitly all 
QM-treated 
atom indices, and leave undefined all MM indices to be parsed in the pdb 
file?


(IV) Is the default ensemble NVT, and if so, is NPT possible in CP2K?
