Dear CP2K users, 

I am trying the reproduce an old paper that calculates de binding energies of oxygen to a heme molecule. According to this reference, different multiplicities for oxygen and heme should be taken into account. I've tried to calculate the different energies for the different multiplicity states, but I consistently get the same results no matter the value I set to the flag MULTIPLICITY. 

I am sure I am overlooking something but I cannot figure it out... I would be very grateful if you could help me fix this. 

I have copied the input file at the end of this email. 

I am using CP2K5.1 . 

Thank you in advance:

Salome
