Dear Jürg and Frederick, Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, I perform 
a geometry optimization calculation before starting the frequency 
calculation, optimizing all the parameters. In response to Jürg : I perform 
an optimization calculation on an isolated organic molecule, setting 
PERIODIC NONE and using POISSON_SOLVER ANALYTIC, followed by a frequency 
calculation.
For now, I'm only studying the isolated molecule; the periodic system will 
follow as soon as I understand how it works.  
The coordinates in the input file are obtained from a geometry optimization 
calculation performed with Gaussian. I took the coordinates as-is from the 
Gaussian output file.
I have attached all the files. Thanks again for your help.
