# Dataset Name
HCB Montmorillonite Adsorption
### Description
Density functional theory study of the adsorption of hexachlorobenzene (C6Cl6, HCB) on a montmorillonite clay surface and the effect of partial hydration, with explicit co-adsorbed water molecules. Each configuration is a VASP geometry optimization of an HCB molecule (with water) on a montmorillonite slab; all ionic relaxation steps are included. The dataset also contains the isolated montmorillonite-slab and HCB-molecule reference calculations used to evaluate interaction energies. Calculations used VASP 6.2.0 with the PBE functional, the Tkatchenko-Scheffler dispersion correction with iterative Hirshfeld partitioning (IVDW=21), Gaussian smearing (ISMEAR=0), and Gamma-point Brillouin-zone sampling.

# Usage
- `ds.parquet` : Aggregated dataset information.
- `co/` directory: Configuration rows each include a structure, calculated properties, and metadata.
- `cs/` directory : Configuration sets are subsets of configurations grouped by some common characteristic. If `cs/` does not exist, no configurations sets have been defined for this dataset.
- `cs_co_map/` directory : The mapping of configurations to configuration sets (if defined).
