[CP2K-user] [CP2K:18023] dipole moment of optimized water

Dear Professor,
I did geometry optimization of only a single water molecule to find its gas 
phase dipole moment using PBE/GTH-TZV2P method/basis set. I also did gas 
phase geometry optimization by turning off the cell pbc, but still I 
calculate different dipole moment of water. I also distorted the water 
molecule structure and the final optimized structure is fine with O-H 
covalent bond length of 0.97Å and 103.9° HOH bond angle. However, the 
dipole moment keep on changing if we change the cell size and also the 
water configuration.
I need the exact gas phase dipole moment of water using PBE/GTH-TZV2P for 
calculating its dipole moment in condensed phase.
Could you please help me how can I get accurate gas phase dipole moment of 
optimized water?
Thank You very much Professor for you reply.
Please find attached my input file to find out optimized water dipole 
moment.

Sincerely,
Rajendra Maharjan
