Summary: Optimization angle problem. C-C and C-C-C-C

Initial Comment:
If you build C-C and add H, the H’s are added in an eclipsed position (i.e. H-C-C-H angle is 0) but the lowest energy should be staggered (H-C-C-H angle 60). This is also not fixed in the geometry optimization. This also happens for larger molecules like C-C-C-C for some bonds.
