[CP2K-user] How to calculate the MD simulation containing the radical.

[Vladimir Rybkin]

Dear Du,

it's a matter of trial and error and finding the right combination of total 
charge and spin. To me it's not clear what OH- is. OH* is a radical, 
hydronium, on the other hand, has a closed shell. SO4- is also a strange 
beast. If you set total spin to 2 and charge to -2, you'll likely get OH* 
and SO4(2-). There is an option to play with the guess:
