Re^2: Are there any Specific basis sets for ions?

Thank you Sanya for the information. Actually i dont know how to add charge to specific atoms in a complicated molecule..say for example lithium ion in between a benzene molecule.. i have the cartesian coordinates for benzene..could u please send me an input file with a lithium ion between a benzene??
One more question Sanya... can i use basis set "LAN2LDZ" fin firefly...because i dont see it included in any software, mask, avogadro etc??? I optimized a benzene using gaussian03...but i am unable to optimize it in firefly...i dont know why...i did many changes but not successful.please help...

>All standard basis sets (including built-in ones) contain basis functions for lithium. It makes no matter whether it is ion or neutral atom, the basis set is the same. Just set proper nonzero ICHARG for ionic species and be careful to match charge and multiplicity.

>>Dear Sir, I know this question is not directly related to Firefly, but as I am using Lithium ions for study, I was curious to know if there are specific basis sets in MASK or AVOGADRO which must be used to study Lithium ion containing molecules? Also could you tell me how to change the CHARGES of specific atoms only?
