[CP2K:8553] error in computing dissociation energy

[katarína stančiaková]

 Thank you for the prompt reply,
just to explain: I performed two sets of tests: 
1) I used example input files from CP2K to check if I get the same numbers 
as in the TEST_FILES (That's reason why I used SZV basis set there). 

2) I tested above mentioned reactions always with the same basis set 
(TZVP-MOLOPT), box size, poison solvers, convergence criteria, etc. So I 
don't think that this might be a problem.
Since I thought that pseudopotential could be "the problem" I tried to 
calculate reaction enthalpy of another simple system: 2CO2 -> 2CO + O2 
(using the same settings as for previous reactions) and again compared 
results with ADF. The difference was about 16 kcal/mol, so I am a bit 
surprised that using pseudopotentials might result in a so large 
disagreement on such a small systems. 


Best,Katarina
