Dear , Francois,
I have attached the molecule in jpg format. The system is a salt whose
charge is neutralized by 4 Br- anions. I have a couple of questions:
[1] Do I need to include the Br- anions in making the paramter file..,
but the exact position of the Br- is unknown...
[2] when I optimize at HF/6-31G*, do i need to include the Br- anion..
Also from literature, Br- aninons helps to maintain the stacked form
of the two pyrene rings,
But when I optimzed, without Br- aninons, the molecules moving away..
Thanks
Rajesh Raju
