[Wien] LAPW Crashes-Please help

[Alex Animalu]

Dear Lawrence,
I used an XRD data from experiment. The space group they gave is P-1 (sg. No. 2). Please, your help will be highly appreciated.

The exact XRD data is shown below:

Unit cell parameters a=8.759(4) °A , b=8.759(4) °A , c=10.641(5) °A , V =788.1(6) °A3
alpha=94.744(5), beta=104.335(5), gamma=90.044(3)

There is a mistake in your structure file. If you look at it you will
find that atom 13 is inversion symmetry related to itself at a
distance of 1.15 Angstroms, which is unreasonable. Did you straight
input a cif file which had partial occupancies? Wien2k does not
understand these (perhaps worth a patch by someone). You will need to
work through what it really should be, perhaps reducing the symmetry
or something else; maybe you have the wrong spacegroup.

N.B., as a general rule I suggest looking at the struct file with
 a
viewer. In far too many cases bad structures is is the source of
problems. Xcrygren is OK although I prefer Atoms and there are a few
others on the web.
