[CP2K-user] Calculating normal modes for a saddle point structure from NEB

Hi Jaap,

Thanks for your response. I fixed all the other atoms and it worked but the 
problem now is that CP2K doesn't print the imaginary frequency. I'm sure 
the structure I input should at least have one but CP2K apparently is only 
printing the positive ones. I thought putting the RANGE keyword will take 
care of this but it didn't. I have pasted the relevant sections of my input 
and output files below.

Thanks,
Mohammad
