Hi Arash,
1- You should use maxcycle=N instead of maxcyc=N keyword
2- You should write the scf cycles like this:
scf=maxcycle=N
3- As far as I know 'gen' keyword is useful when you want to introduce your own
basis set in the Gaussian but here I see that you have use a Gaussian integrated
functional and basis set. Moreover, is you are going to use your own basis set
you should be much more careful about its input I recommend you to use this link
for more information on input style:
http://www.gaussian.com/g_tech/g_ur/k_gen.htm
Hope it would be helpful for you.
Best regards,
Ahmad

may concern,
I am working with organometallic complexes and I want to optimize the structure.
But I have a major problem with the optimization of the structures.
I used the keywords below to launch my calculations;
#p opt=(cartesian,maxcyc=200) gen gfoldprint pbe1pbe pop=full pseudo=read
scfcyc=2000
However all of the calculations turned to fail and did not converge.
I would be thankful if you will help me.
