Dear everyone,
I am getting a crazy Mulliken charge out of a DFT calculation.
The system is a neutrally charged combination of two oppositely charged ions (EMIM-BF4).
Energies looks alright, I have compared to other results.
Nonetheless, the sum of the total charge is of 120!! which is clearly a nonsense, even for Mulliken charge.
What can I do to improve these results?
Below you can find the result and attached the input file used to produce it.

Thank you,
Marco
