Dear Ivan

I can run your input using v8.2 and the BSSE run terminates normally (BSSE-free interaction energy: 0.049).
I suggest however to use OT CG with FULL_SINGLE_INVERSE and OUTER_SCF together with some tighter settings (at least EPS_DEFAULT 1.0E-12 and EPS_SCF 1.0E-6)

Best

Matthias

Betreff: [CP2K:16378] Basis Set Superposition Error + MULTIPLICITY stuck calculation


Dear CP2K users

I tried to estimate the interaction energy of a small molecule with a solid substrate using BSSE in cp2K.

The molecule has an unpaired electron, so the multiplicity of the system is 2.  For this reason, I set up the BSSE section using the CONFIGURATION keyword (see below). From what I understand, the energy of each monomer should be calculated in the combined basis set of the two monomers, (Equation 3 in http://vergil.chemistry.gatech.edu/notes/cp.pdf), and this is done using ghost atoms. The first fragment has charge 0 and multiplicity 2, the second (the solid substrate) charge 0 and multiplicity 1

 My calculation gets stuck with no error statement at a certain point. I cannot figure out the problem because, if I run a simple RUN_TYPE ENERGY everything works fine. I attach my inputs and outputs files.

Thank you very much for any possible suggestions and help

 Best regards

Ivan
