                <div>I am trying to study the adsorption if some Cations
                  and Anions on the pore of Metal-organic frameworks
                  (MOF). I relaxed the cell which contains the ion and
                  added <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px">tot_charge=1

                    optimized coordinates of the complex, MOF and ion
