Hi Andrew,

At present, unfortunately not. The periodic boundaries are done with PME and
there is no notion of periodic QM atoms (except their mulliken charge
images) within the Fock matrix. Currently the code checks to make sure the
QM region size + cutoff does not extend beyond the box boundaries.

Pure QM systems are on a 'very long' list of features to be added at some
point in the "unforeseeable" future.

All the best
Ross
