You can get this information even for smaller system: H2MoS4 or H2Mo2S5 etc.

Just do it.

>Sorry for replying late. As suggested by you,  I have now preoptimized the sample. But I don't know how much time will it take to finish DFT optimization using LanL2DZ or SBKJC. I am unable to estimate the time it would need to optimize. The sample contains 15 Mo and S atoms each with 14 H atoms.

>>You may try to switch DLC off (nzvar=0) and use MINI basis to preoptimize the geometry. You may face with a problem with SCF minimization at the first step if your geometry is not good. Otherwise, you may build your molecule from scratch. It is your responsibility to build geometry in this way. You may find Z-matrix editors also very useful. There are a lot of tools available (wxmacmolplt, avogadro, chemcraft, gabedit etc.)

>>>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?
