[SIESTA-L] How to add a 3s diffuse function for carbon valence electrons

(As I received a failure message, I resend my message to the list)

Dear all,

I am trying to add 3s diffuse function for the valence electrons for
Carbon atom. However as I add the 3s orbital to the basis set it gives
me this error in the output:

WRONG species symbol in PAO.Basis: n

I need to add 3s as I found in PRB 66, 155410(2002), it was mentioned
that a diffuse 3s orbital is required for making the appearance of
Graphene electronic spectrum above 3 eV.

Does anybody know how I can include a 3s orbital for Carbon?

Many thanks in advance for your help,
