<p>Have you tried with a larger side mesh size? <br>
</p>
<p>I may be wrong but it seems to me that the size you used is too
small to prevent the molecule to interact with itself, which could
induce undesirable effects especially if the starting
configuration is too far from the most stable configuration.</p>
