Re^4: How to reduce memory constraints for DFT calculations of say 5th row above elements...?

Dear Alex,
Yes I too noticed it Alex. But I got these coordinates after an initial optimization using Avogadro with conjugate gradients and Ghemical forcefield.. Infact such problems I even noticed when I use metal atoms too. Please suggest me how should I provide realistic geometry when metals or heavy atoms are used?
I haven't tried FIREFLY to do this yet.

Regards,
