[CP2K-user] SCCS solvation energy of 0 for charged ions

[Ivan Clayson]

Hello, I am currently trying to calculate the enthalpy of solvation of a 
separated Cu(II) and two Cl- ions. I've used to the CDFT approach to force 
my Cu to be divalent and when I use CDFT with the SCCS module, my system is 
calculated to have no solvation energy and there is no polarisability 
energy. This calculation uses the wave function from a previously 
unsolvated system (but still using CDFT) but I've been running a parallel 
calculation from an atomic guess with both of these modules active 
simultaneously and the SCCS module is still reporting a solvation energy of 
effectively 0.
Is there an error in my input which would give this? I'm unsure why the 
SCCS module is not including the implicit solvent-solute interaction given 
that I've managed to obtain a solvation energy from water by using this 
same approach.
