I successfully optimized the ground-state geometry and proceeded with excited- state optimization and vibrational frequency calculations of a metal alkoxide radical with C3v symmetry. Although the job for geometry optimization runs correctly, the frequency calculation for the ground state fails with the following error message: vbnet Copy Edit FileIO: IOper=1 IFilNo(1)= 508 len= ... Error termination in NtrErr: NtrErr called from FileIO. I suspect this is related to an input/output or file issue, but I am unsure of the specific cause. I am performing these calculations using a supercomputing cluster. Notably, I was able to perform successful geometry optimization and frequency calculations for the excited state. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or could advise on how to resolve this FileIO/NtrErr error? Thank you very much in advance.
