Dear Bálint,
Thanks for your reply.
I have seen a publication, which having all HubbardDerivs and dampXH (J.
Chem. Theory Comput. 2013, 9, 338−354. Table 1 and 3) with mio
parametrization. I am using them with mio-0-1 set. Could you please let me
know whether I am doing correct or not?
Thank you and with regards
Nagaprasad
