<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,</p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to calculate the bond dissociation energy of Si-S bond using CP2K. Please find attached my input file for the same.
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am initially performing a geometry optimization of a SiH3-SH molecule to calculate the equilibrium Si-S bond length. Once I have the equilibrium bond length, I am varying the Si-S distance from 1.5 A to 7.5 A. I rerun geometry optimization
 for these different structures keeping the Si and S atoms fixed while allowing the other H atoms to relax.

<p class="MsoNormal">Kindly let me know if this input files and approach looks good. I am getting the bond dissociation energy to be 100 kcal/mol whereas the literature value is ~ 145 kcal/mol</p>
