In the energy calculation, we are going to take BSSE into account. But what's about Scan? how can I add BSSE option into PES. Can I calculate the BSSE for the optimized structure and then added the calculated BSSE to all the scanned energies? I have also one more question, during the scan I found more stable configurations, but when I took the most stable configurations and optimized it, I found it is not stable and shifted to a weird configurations. BTW the the energy difference between the start optimized structure and the most stable configuration (got throughout the scan job) is around 2 kcal/mol. Any explanation for this shift? Any kind of help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Eliac
