<br>
<br>There seems to be a bit an inconsistency in the files you provided:
<br>
<br>The coordinate section can't be in an XYZ file (CP2K will fail while 
<br>parsing it).
<br>
<br>Now, when I enter the coordinates you mention into an XYZ file, CP2K 
<br>gives me:
<br>
<br>   Atom  Kind  Element       X           Y           Z          Z(eff) 
<br>     Mass
<br>
<br>        1     1 Co  27    3.108670    4.979180    4.103000     17.00 
<br>  58.9332
<br>        2     2 C    6    5.012420    5.338520    4.024640      4.00 
<br>  12.0107
<br>        3     3 O    8    6.120010    5.547740    3.979040      6.00 
<br>  15.9994
<br>        4     2 C    6    3.039780    4.921110    2.166350      4.00

<br>   1.0079
<br>
<br>which looks correct.
<br>
<br>Also, when I put the &COORD section you provided in the provided input 
<br>file instead of the &TOPOLOGY, I get:
<br>
<br>        1     1 Co  27    3.108670    4.979180    4.103000     17.00 
<br>  58.9332

<br>  12.0107
<br>        3     3 O    8    6.120010    5.547740    3.979040      6.00 
<br>  15.9994
<br>        4     2 C    6    3.039780    4.921110    2.166350      4.00 
<br>  12.0107
<br>        5     3 O    8    2.999670    4.887060    1.039490      6.00 
<br>  15.9994
<br>        6     2 C    6    3.177500    5.036160    6.039690      4.00

<br>        8     4 H    1    1.543250    4.684900    4.167410      1.00 
<br>   1.0079
<br>
<br>Which also seems ok.
