[Wien] Beween non spin polarized and spin polarized calculations

OK so you have transition metal elements surrounded by ligands (S, Se) ...

For copper, it depends if its oxidation state is +2 or +1, leading to 10 
and 9 electrons in the Cu-3d states, respectively.

For Manganese you have to use DFT+U or DFT+onsite hybrid functional or 
full hybrid if not metallic.

For zirconium, you should have no difficulties.

I cannot say more  without the chemical composition ...
