Dear Lukas,
in DFT you cannot specify individual charges - they get assigned to the 
'best' (lowest energy) locations. You can only specify the overall charge 
of the system and the multiplicity (S(S+!)) by the CHARGE and MULTIPLICITY 
keywords in the DFT section - if MULTIPLICITY is not 1 you need to also set 
UKS = .TRUE.
