[CP2K-user] [CP2K:20732] 6-31+G(d) basis set? + anion questions

[Krack Matthias]

Dear Michela

You can download these basis sets from Basis Set Exchange<https://www.basissetexchange.org/> in CP2K format. If I am not mistaken, the 631++G basis set includes also a diffuse function for the first row elements H and He by contrast to 6-31+G as the only difference.

You need to set CHARGE -1, if you want to simulate an CH3O- anion. This will add automatically a compensating background charge of +1 for periodic calculation (“PERIODIC xyz” which is the default). For a non-periodic calculation with “PERIODIC none” in the &CELL and &POISSON sections, select an appropriate POISSION_SOLVER<https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/DFT/POISSON.html#CP2K_INPUT.FORCE_EVAL.DFT.POISSON.POISSON_SOLVER> like MT.

Subject: [CP2K:20732] 6-31+G(d) basis set? + anion questions
Good morning everyone,

I was able to find the 6-31G and 6-31++G basis set in data/EMSL_BASIS_SETS, but not the single + basis set (6-31+G(d)). Can anyone show me where to find it??
Another question is about representing the methoxide anion for a geometry opt job - is it enough to make coordinate for CH3O? Do I have to add a CHARGE? I am generally confused about setting up simulations with ions and I would love someone to verify.

Thank you so much for your time - I appreciate the help!

Michela
