Re: CCL:CCL-Wanted hard-to-converge



 Dear Jing,
 I have an example for you.
 This is a rather big molecule cation-radical
 with open shell. Try to deal with it. It can't converge in
 the standard 64 SCF cycles in the GAUSSIAN-94, as also the convergence
 was not achieved with the QC keyword.
 Please find enclosed the input file.
 I'll be obligated to you if you will
 inform me about the trial with your procedure.
 Regards,
 Michael
