We present a real-space adaptive-coordinate method, which combines the advantages of the finite-difference approach with the accuracy and flexibility of the adaptive coordinate method. The discretized Kohn-Sham equations are written in generalized curvilinear coordinates and solved self-consistently by means of an iterative approach. The Poisson equation is solved in real space using the Multigrid algorithm. We implemented the method on a massively parallel computer, and applied it to the calculation of the equilibrium geometry and harmonic vibrational frequencies of the CO_2, CO, N_2 and F_2 molecules, yielding excellent agreement with the results of accurate quantum chemistry and Local Density Functional calculations.
