RE: Gaussian Convergence failure!
Yes, qc is often needed for such systems (namely S-Fe bonding). One usually
starts with a HF calculation and a small basis, then increases the basis
using options scf(qc,conver=8), then b3lyp calculation (with the same
options)

Objet: CCL:Gaussian Convergence failure!
Dear WIlliam
I am not sure where your problem is, because you did not attach your input
gaussian file with the structure of the molecule.
But, if I have a problem with convergence in Gaussian
(it is true especially for metal complexes)
I usually use the QC option in SCF calculations
So, write "SCF=QC" in your input file.
Unfortunately you will need more time for your calculations :-(
Best regards
Kzys
