[CP2K-user] [CP2K:19579] MOF optimization

Dear cp2k experts

Thank you for your reply, Gupta Dhananjay.

I would try to change CIF to XYZ by mercury etc.software, and I simulated 
it.

Also, under previous conditions, SCF did not converge, and energy change 
was approximately -1.0E-07-1.0E06.

The input and output files (Default conditions & FULL_SINGLE_INVERSE )have 
been attached below.

Could you advice me what I should modify in the input file? Should I change 
the cell structure and how do I modify it?


Many thanks,
K.AK
