<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:#000000">Looking at your structure, you have four oxygens (O 17 to O21) which are not really bonded to anything. For instance, the closest atoms to O17 are K4 at 2.87 Angers and O4 at 2.84 Angers. The BVS [1] for these atoms are too small, 0.2-0.4. I strongly suspect that these are really water molecules where the H could not be refined (probably no neutron diffraction was done).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:#000000">I suggest that you go back to the original CIF, check the source paper and use one of the many viewers to ensure that your starting structure is appropriate. In general I expect only small (~0.05 Angers) changes in positions between DFT refined and good XRD refinements.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:#000000">I also suggest that you update to 19.1. For your small cluster the use of openmp threading would be a significant improvement.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:#000000">[1] You can see the BVS via " x nn ; grep Bond case.outputnn". They are a standard sanity check, for instance as a validation of CIF files in some cases.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 3, 2019 at 1:00 AM Ashwani Kumar <<a href="mailto:ashwani.ism@gmail.com">ashwani.ism@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Thank you Dr. Marks for the comments.
