Is this you really want? For this job, G03 doens't have analytical gradients. In my experience, firstly you should give the coordinates in a z-matrix form. But since the number of your internal coordinates is 177, above the limit of 50, your calculation is not possible. You should try with Gaussian09. If you don't need to optimize the excited state (as I suppose), but only the ground state, remove the keyword td. After that, you have the optimized geometry and eventually real positive frequencies. Now you can run the TD calculation with the optimized new coordinates. Other two notes: 1) the latest geometry, you posted, it is almost planar! The first was reasonable. 2) in your input file you didn't specify any basis set for C, N, and H. I'm not sure if the default is the 3-21G. best regards Happy New Year to all CCLers Quartarolo Domenico University of Calabria, Italy ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. **** Riservatezza / Confidentiality **** In ottemperanza al D.Lgs. n. 196 del 30/6/2003 in materia di protezione dei dati personali, le informazioni contenute in questo messaggio sono strettamente riservate ed esclusivamente indirizzate al destinatario indicato (oppure alla persona responsabile di rimetterlo al destinatario).
