Hello, Without more technical details on the calculations you have performed, it is difficult to answer your question. However, beware that, the S6 “molecules” in the crystal are maintained together by van der Waals interactions that are not accounted for in DFT. You have to add, e.g., Grimme’s D2/D3 vdW corrections in your calculations.
