Based on this geometry i used the CBS/QB3 method to calculate the single point energy, and it always shows the following error: >>>>>>>>>> Convergence criterion not met. SCF Done: E(UHF) = -267.358083472 A.U. after 129 cycles Convg = 0.4652D-04 -V/T = 2.0021 = 0.0000 = 0.0000 = 0.5000 = 0.7554 S= 0.5027 = 0.000000000000E+00 Annihilation of the first spin contaminant: S**2 before annihilation 0.7554, after 0.7500 Convergence failure -- run terminated.
