Dear Mr. Zwijnenburg:

I am also doing a QST2 searching for the transition state for azobenzene molecule, however my searching have taken 5 days already and there is no signal that it will stop soon
I used the B3LYP/6-311G(d) method. can you tell me what did you use and how fast is your calculation?

following is my command line:

*************************
#P B3LYP/6-311G(d) Opt=QST2
