Hello, I want to calculate the normal vibrational spectra of PF6 anion. After the energy minimization, I found that the structure has lost his symmetry. It does not have Oh symetry. I compared this structre with ab-initio which is not matching. I have pasted the input file for energy minimzation. WHy structure is loosing its symmetry or why its not giving proper local minima. Nilesh
