I am running a simple bond formation test in a vacuum. I adapted the ab initio script from the water box exercise, but when I made adjustments to include different kinds of atoms (or tried a different basis set) I ran into some issues. had to switch basis files, as my test molecule has chlorine. I tried a couple different basis files, including GTH_BASIS_SETS and GTH_MOLOPT.
