[Wien] proper input of AIM

Please note: theta is the angle with the c-axis. Thus in hexagonal 
symmetry it must run at least from 0 to pi/2, or if there is no mirror 
plane, it must cover 0 - pi.

Similar, phi is the angle with x; so in principle it runs from 0 - 2pi; 
but of course local symmetry (pointsymmetry of the atom !, see outputs)
can reduce this.

If you are notfamiliar with pointsymmetries,..., I suggest you check it 
by brute force and do theta from 0-pi and phi from  0-2pi first.

the structure is in P-62m symmetry. I think it should by correct to set 
Phi (line 4 in case.inaim) to "40 0 1.570796327". Also, to my knowledge, 
I set the theta (line 3 in case.inaim) from 0 to pi*2/3 or -1/6*pi to 
1/2*pi. The problem is the number of electons of equivalent atoms is 
different. Meanwhile, the supposed anion (the other kind is metal) is 
positive. If I change theta to 0 - pi, I can get an negative value.
