Yep, they seem to be wanting to bond to the O's within the cell, while they
are meant to bond across the PBC.

I am not sure how periodic_molecule = yes part functions. I don't seem to
get difference if I turn it on or off when I do Energy minimisation. Do you
have some examples that work, so I can compare to them? Are there some

I have never used periodic molecules, except when toying around with some CNTs for my own curiosity. I suspect the problem you're seeing arises from the bonded atoms being closer within the unit cell than they are across PBC, so the minimum distance is what is trying to be satisfied. How far apart are the atoms across PBC, and how long is the assigned bond supposed to be? I have seen other cases posted to the list wherein the periodic_molecules function breaks down simply because of bad starting geometry.

threshold distances, that they rely upon? I really wouldn't like to have to
make the a bigger basic cell - too much topology assigning.


A bigger unit cell won't help.  In fact, it would probably make things worse.
