I am working on a Mo2C + MnCl2 system where the slab has Mo at the topmost layer above which there is MnCl2 salt. I am not able to get an optimized structure even after using the bfgs algorithm. I am attaching the input and cif file below please guide me regarding this issue. The same algorithm worked when the top layer had carbon atoms which were removed in this particular case.
mncl2_mo.cif
sys.inp
