Hi,
  We have done a bit on Ni, but in terms of your system it might not
help (see attached link). In general, you have to build your model
from scratch for a metallocluster. There are decent parameters
available for hemes, but for more complicated clusters it will take
some effort to build a model that works well. Good luck. Kennie
