So, I think that the correct route section should be #p uhf/6-311++g** scf=(vshift=100,xqc,tight,maxcycle=512) # scrf(pcm,read,solvent=water) Sincerely, Ol Ga ps. if you get an error in SCF-procedure try to use DAMP and NDamp keywords in an appropriate way or change the basis set. ----- Original Message ----- > From: lsveracool^^gmail.com To: Ga, Ol Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 6:25 PM Subject: CCL:G: a question about solvent computation the head file is : #p hf/6-311++g** scf=tight scrf(pcm,read,solvent=water) the error termination is : Annihilation of the first spin contaminant: S**2 before annihilation 0.8506, after 0.7572 Convergence failure -- run terminated. Error termination via Lnk1e in /home/user/ustcguo/g03/l502.exe at Wed Jul 23 22:02:34 2008. Job cpu time: 0 days 0 hours 31 minutes 45.5 seconds. File lengths (MBytes): RWF= 82 Int= 0 D2E= 0 Chk= 2 Scr= 1 DeltaG (solv) (kcal/mol) = -64.82 the result comes out, but I wonder whether it is correct. because I 've calculated a file which gave two different DeltaGs on two mechines. thanks for the help!
