This iteration counter is not the one that counts geometries, but rather the steps in evaluating the QCISD energy. Is there a way to increase the maximum number of iterations in the QCISD evaluation? I tried to get around the problem by using QCISD=(conv=6), but g92 declared that to be a syntax error. My job deck looks like: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #QCISD 6-31G* opt=(ts,grad,calchffc) NH-O (3A) transition state QCISD geometry opt. 0,3 X O, 1, 1.0 H, 2, OH, 1, 90.0 N, 2, NO, 1, 90.0, 3, 0.0 Variables: OH=1.36 NO=2.499 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks in advance, Joe Durant
