I had that exact error yesterday while working on the MMC isotherm. In my case it was a missing comma at the end of a line in the parameters list in the *<codegen> block at the top of the file.

same for me, took me some time to figure it out

In CADET, the jacobian of the binding model can either be calculated via automatic differentiation (AD) or via solving an analytical Jacobian

Using the AD Jacobian significantly slows down the simulation.
Recently, we have substantially mitigated this by enabling the AD Jacobian specifically for bindings only, as opposed to using it for the whole unit operation.
That is, if you do not provide an implementation of the analytical Jacobian, it will automatically be determined via AD. This still slows down the simulation and providing an analytical Jacobian is still highly recommended.
