CCL:G: Question regarding geometry optimization



I haven't used Gaussian for a long time, but it looks like all those pairs are atom numbers that Gaussian finds are too close, so the input geometry is not good enough for a calculation.  Most likely the SCF will not converge when atoms are too close.

How did you build your input geometry?  Is it some crystal structure?

Best regards

Victor

Hello All

I am getting the error message in my geometry optimization. The optimization is carried out at HF/6-31+G(d,p) of a T12 cluster of zeolite Y.

I am getting the following error message :

 Problem with the distance matrix.
 Error termination via Lnk1e in /usr/local/g03/l202.exe


Any help and suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
