CCL:G: OPTIMIZATION OF LARGE COMPUND



Hi,
the error is because SCF didn't converge and maximum number of cycles achived. Try SCF=maxcyle=800 (or any number bigger than default). If SCF did not converge within the new maxcycle number, try SCF=qc, It is slower but works fine with some dificult cases. Read more about this keywords usage at: http://www.gaussian.com/g_tech/g_ur/k_scf.htm

hope this help

HELLO
i have a problem with optimization of side chain of palitaksel(taxol)(49 atoms)
i have an optimal structure of this compound in B3lYP/6-31++G** and also in
B3LYP/cc-pVDZ now i want to optimize in B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ in standard
optimization will appear a erorr

 Convergence criterion not met.
 SCF Done:  E(RB3LYP) =  -1169.89227230     A.U. after  129 cycles
            Convg  =    0.1554D-06             -V/T =  2.0065
 Convergence failure -- run terminated.
 Error termination via Lnk1e in /opt/gaussian/g09/l502.exe at Sat Jan 15

 when i use as start geometry from B3LYP/cc-pVDZ and also B3lYP/6-31++G**
i use in route section options like SCF=qc and also increase number of cycles
SCF=(MaxCycle=1000) and also error

what do you think about this??? What should i do to finish my optimization at
b3lyp/aug-cc-pVDZ???
 with kind regards maciej from poland
