The problem is to have the force field for your UNIT ;-)

I would use R.E.D. to generate RESP or ESP charges:
You have to check if an ECP is needed for the geom. opt. & MEP QM steps. I guess
'yes'. You will also have to define a radius for the palladium (to compute the
MEP; as it is defined for the Sc-Zn elements in R.E.D.-II). If you do need an
ECP, you will also have to modify the R.E.D. source code to add this ECP: you
have to apply the same idea than what has been done for these raddi in
R.E.D.-II. I would be very interested to help setting R.E.D.-II (or better
R.E.D.-III) for your project if you want.
kind regards, Francois
